I'm Having a bit of a problem receiving a bank payment and hoped someone could help. I am expecting a bank transfer from someone and have given them my account number, sort code, branch and name on account. They have come back to me saying the account number is two digits short. The account number I have given them is seven digits in length. I thought they may have needed to add two leading zeros to their online payment system, but upon looking at my credit book there is a two digit "trans code" - is this what I need to provide?

Is this a bank or a building society with a book?

All proper UK bank accounts have a 6 digit sort code and an 8 digit account number. When I say proper, I mean a bank that is part of the clearing system. Years ago lots of building societies weren't and they had their whatever numbering system they wanted
