List of sort codes of the United Kingdom
- List of sort codes of the United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom the initial digits of bank sort codes are allocated to settlement members of the Cheque and Credit Clearing Company and the Belfast Bankers' Clearing Committee. These numbers are six digits long, formatted into three pairs which are separated by hyphens.
The following list shows the first two digits of the sort codes allocated to clearing banks. Thus, in the example 54-21-38, "54" indicates that the bank is a branch of NatWest.
Cheque and Credit Clearing Company
The clearing system in Great Britain is managed by the Cheque and Credit Clearing Company, under the umbrella of the Association for Payment Clearing Services.
London clearings
In 1991 the Committee of London and Scottish Bankers, formerly the Committee of London Clearing Bankers, was wound up and its work absorbed with that of the British Bankers' Association.
