Verify UK Sort Codes Instantly

What Is a Sort Code?

A sort code is a 6-digit number used by UK banks to identify specific bank branches for domestic payments. It's essential for direct debits, standing orders, and bank transfers within the United Kingdom.

Sort Code Structure

A sort code consists of three pairs of numbers (XX-XX-XX), where each pair identifies a specific element of the banking system. The format helps route payments to the correct bank and branch.
