Appreciate if anyone could answer this,

Will account number / sort code remain the same for new card. i.e can someone still make payment into account with sort code / account number from lost card, I'm not sure if it's only card number that will be changed and old lost card cancelled?

Cheers.

I believe that your sort code and account number will remain the same. At least in my experience with several banks.

Your debit card number, cvv code, expiry dates etc will change.
 
Cheers for quick response guys, so things like Amazon I will have to delete my old card info. Setup with new card details when I get the new card, but people can still make payments into my account with old account number / sort code?

Reason for that is I've got stuff on MM for BT and wanted to know if payments would still go through ok.

Can't remember losing a card before confused / worrying lol.

Yep. :)
 
Account number is your account. That doesn't change, just the card number.
Sort code is the code for your particular branch. Everyone who banks at that branch will have the same sort code.
 
Thanks guys, sorry if it was a stupid question, can't remember losing a card before. Gone into panic mode lol :p

If people can still pay in that's awesome, just got to wait for the new card now to be able to buy stuff, credit card to the rescue in the meantime :D

No worries, just make sure you check your online account for any weird transactions if it was stolen/lost and report them to your bank, unlikely, but better to be safe than sorry. :)
