Do you offer a free sort code checker?
We do, see our free sort code checker; in addition all our plans include a number of free sort code and account checks. We carefully curate and update our data weekly to ensure that our customers get the most accurate and up-to-date information available. We also need to run our infrastructure and support systems. Our plans are very competitive, starting from just £96+VAT a month which includes 10,000 free checks. See our plans here.
What types of accounts can you check, and what countries are covered?
What types of accounts can you check, and what countries are covered?
We can validate sort codes and account numbers from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. We can also validate IBAN for all participant countries. Some participant countries use a national check digit, and we can validate that too.
We hold data for all UK and Ireland banking institutions, as well as the types of payments they support. We are working towards supporting European and International institutions so that we can offer a global lookup of branch data.
