Bank Sort Code Enquiry

[Mark Bateman]

I have just come back from a tax enquiry for a client and HMRC have requested details of a transfer out of my clients account - they have the sort code and account number

My client cannot recall whos account it is

He may do if he knows what bank it is

Does anyone know where there is a sort code directory ?

 

[Mark Bateman]

Can anyone help with this please

I'll be able to tell you if it is an HSBC one (I used to work for them)

 

[Mark Bateman]

What and you knew them all - you shjould go on you bet

the sort code is 07-00-40

 

[andrew1810]

All bank sort codes start with the same 2 digits, all HSBC ones start with 40-49

07 is a Nationwide one:

If you phone Nationwide, I'm sure they'll tell you which branch that is

As an hsbcnet.com user I get that for free - sort code lookups I mean.

But isn't it outrageous that the banks don't provide this information for free? Don't we pay enough in charges?

... a bit late on this one but can anybody help??

What UK bank is sort code : 40-08-52

I think it is HSBC but cannot trace the exact branch.

 

[andrew1810]

Definitely an HSBC number, if you call one of the helplines they might tell you

Gives you a complete breakdown for free of the start of the sort codes and which bank they are including the Scottish and Belfast clearings system.

They may all start with 40, but they certainly don't all start with 40-49.

They may all start with 40, but they certainly don't all start with 40-49.

What I meant was they all start with either 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48 or 49

hello, I am trying to locate the physical location of 2 banks as well as what banks they are...can anyone help?

sort codes:
77 91 13
400727

cheers

 

[Cred-X]

77 91 13 - Lloyds TSB
400727 - HSBC

If you give their call centres a phone they may be able to tell you exact branch info.

There is an actual "directory" issued every year with all the sort codes, addresses & tel numbers etc.... I used to ask my bank for a copy (because I used to process a lot of BACs payments and needed the info) and they used to automatically let me have one every year.

I have not needed it in the last 3 years, so no longer get them. I presume you can still get them?

 

[Jaydee]

77 91 13 is Lloyds at Kilburn

40 07 27 is HSBC at Willesden Green

Just type the sort codes into http://www.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/demos/happy/validator.aspx and hit validate - a very useful resource

Try this: http://www.unifiedsoftware.co.uk/demo/demo-home.html
You will need to register for a free trial because I think there are rules about distribution of the banking data, however the site tells you all there is to know about any bank branch and seems to be bang up to date.

most sort codes are listed on the various bank websites, just put the sort code into goole and it should bring a few solutions up.
