Sort Code

The Sort Code is a mandatory six-digit numerical identifier used primarily within the United Kingdom and formerly in Ireland to specify the bank and branch location for the purpose of routing domestic electronic and paper-based payments, such as those processed through Bacs, Faster Payments, and CHAPS. This unique code, typically presented as three pairs of numbers (e.g., 10-80-00), is essential for ensuring the accurate and timely settlement of funds between financial institutions within the UK's domestic payment infrastructure.
