Bank Validation

Is Bank Validation available worldwide?

Most of the Bank Validation services are UK-only, however we do provide an International service which covers EMEA. You can find out more about the International service in its API documentation.

Why does the address listed for this branch not match its physical location?

Many banks use a central processing depot for their BACS and other transactions. Therefore a BACS check on a specific sort code may return the bank's central depot rather than the specific branch address.

Will Bank Validation return information on the account holder?

No, we do not hold any information on individual accounts.

When you make a Bank Validation request, you will only ever receive information back regarding the sort code, with confirmation of whether the account number matches that sort code.
