What are SORT codes?
Sort codes are associated with each bank and bank branch in Britain. The Sort codes are used for precise directing of domestic transfers within the UK via a clearing organization. There are 6 digits in each Sort code representing banks, branches, regions, clearing banks, clearing systems, financial institutions or groups of financial institutions.
The same UK sort code structure was historically used in the Republic of Ireland; Sort codes still form an underlying part of Irish bank codes. In 2014 the Irish electronic clearing systems entered liquidation and were replaced by SEPA. Since entering the Eurozone the SEPA system has been implemented into Irish banking and bank transfers within Ireland are made using IBAN through SEPA. The UK Sort code system is used by Northern Ireland but under the authority of the IPSO (Irish Payments Services Organization). Northern Ireland Sort codes can be identified as they start with the digit 9.
Sort codes consist of 6 digits formulated in pairs with the first two digits identifying the bank and the second and third pair of figures identifying the branch location. Sort codes are imbedded in IBANs but not in SWIFT codes.
Make use of a Sort code checker to confirm Sort codes in UK and Irish banks. Verify that the Sort code is not outdated or incorrect so that payments reach their desired destination. Using an incorrect Sort code can result in delayed transfers, failed transfers or even in funds reaching the wrong account.
