Sort Code?

[artkreator]

Hi, does any one know what a sort code is?
This is for bank porpouses for sedo.com
My bank doesn't know anything about this now.
Do you?
Anyone else getting money thru bank wire?
Thanks!

Another word for "routing number", as best as I can tell.

The numbers on the check that aren't your account #.

Best of luck,
Allan

My bank doesn't know about any of this code and I am furious.
Why do the want this sort code, nobody else does.

The sort code is usually a 6 digit number, it should be on your bank statement. For example, the sort code for one of my banks is 117878 and for another it is 541017. Where are you from?

wow, so this might be a zip code?
cause the banks zip code has 6 digits.
I'm form Romania.
This specific info was not included with the other info.

A routing code by any other name.....

I'd say they are after the routing number, its called different things in different countries, but I think its always 6 digits (will stand correction on that).

It's not the zip code. Let me know, either here or by PM, the name (and location?) of your bank. I'll see if I can find anything out.

For Sedo you do not necessarily need to provide the Sort code, you can try the following which I have always done, and I have not missed revenue payments though wire from Sedo.

Account Number : Provide your current/checking account number
Sort Code : Provide your current/checking account number which is the same as above.

The reason for this is my Bank also does Not utilise Sort Codes (EU standard) or ABA Routing numbers (North American standards), therefore the bank transfer routing is through the bank account number. This has been confirmed by my bank (HSBC) and like I mentioned I have always received payment from Sedo this way. (Normally received on the 17th or 18th of the month)

This is based on the assumption that you use a current or checking account as this would not usually work out with a savings account.
