Old Bank Sort Code Rdirectory

[vikkid]

I used to have one which listed all the sort codes in order and gave their
addresses but unfortunately when I retired I left it behind. Santander
have not been able to answer this question. I will accept the best answer I have received and take it from there. many thanks folks and as an exiled scot living in England best wishes for the new year at midnight. vikkid

Hi- you could have just added this comment on your original thread so as to keep everything together.
I know it's none of my business but I would be interested to know what use such a list would be as banks use centralised processing now

http://findsortcodes.co.uk/ may help - though I don't know how much 'obsolete' info is retained

This is about this thread http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Business-and-Finance/Question1303532.html

Vikkid, it's pretty easy - just put the sort code on your original thread into Google, this comes up (I expect this is what the rest of us have done)

Strange one, Boxy. Out of curiosity I visited that link you give and entered my RBS bank branch code. It came up with a totally different branch to the one I've always been with. Hmm.

It doesn`t surprise me that Santander don`t know. I had an Alliance & Leicester mortgage and paid it off with a lump sum a couple of years ago. I went into the Santander branch and they couldn`t even find the number on their system because it didn`t recognise A&L a/c numbers even though Santander owned them.

Interesting, well spotted, heathfield - I've just checked it with my own current sort code. You are right, but I think the code might follow me about - the address at the mo is showing Birmingham, where I lived in a former life, but subsequently I've moved the account twice to branches local to where I live. How odd!

Yes boxtops, that's why I'm always puzzled as to why some people try to trace a branch address from a sort code. It's much quicker just to contact the head office

All 09-01-26 and 09-01-27 codes resolve to Santander's HQ (was Abbey's HQ) in Prescott St London, not individual branches.
