Note: For the purposes of making a BACS transfer you should be quoting an eight-digit bank account number, and six-digit sort-code (With no hyphens or spaces). If you are unsure of either of these please consult your bank account statement, or check with your bank.

If you do not receive an error message the update of your bank details will have been successful. You will be able to view your bank details by repeating the process if you wish to double-check this.

Your bank details will need to be provided at least a week before any payments are due to be paid into your account. Please note that, unfortunately, we are unable to make direct payments to international bank accounts (including Republic of Ireland accounts).
