Sending money to the UK using Sort Code

Sending money to your recipient in the UK is straightforward and reliable with a sort code and account number. The sort code is a unique identifier for UK banks and their branches, ensuring that funds are directed to the correct location.

What is a Sort Code?

A sort code is a six-digit number that identifies the bank and branch where the recipient's account is held. It’s essential for routing domestic and international transfers accurately.

Format

A sort code, combined with the recipient's bank account number, ensures that the money is directed to the correct account at the right branch. Here’s how it breaks down:

• First two digits: Identify the bank.

• Middle two digits: Identify the branch.

• Last two digits: Further specify the branch.

For example, a sort code might look like this: 12-34-56.
