Transferring Money

You can set up a regular or one off transfer from another UK Bank or Building Society to your Britannia account. However, please check the terms and conditions of your account as some may not allow additional payments.

You have two options when transferring funds into your Britannia account:

BACS (Banks Automated Clearing System)


BACS is ideal for making regular payments into your Britannia account. A BACS transfer will take 3 Banking days to reach your account.

To complete a BACS transfer, your Bank will ask you for the information set out below.

  • Britannia's sort code: 57-13-27.
  • Account number: 00000000 (always enter 8 zeros here).
  • Reference: Your 9 digit Britannia account number, e.g. 123456789. If you have an 8 digit account number please add a '0' to the front of it. Your Britannia account number can be found on your passbook, cashcard or statement.

CHAPS (Clearing House Automated Payment System)


CHAPS is a same day transfer of funds. A CHAPS transfer will generally incur a cost from the transferring organisation in the region of £20. A CHAPS payment may also be refered to as a TT (Telegraphic Transfer).

To complete a CHAPS transfer, your bank will ask you for the information set out below.

  • Britannia's sort code: 01-05-02.
  • Account number: 23531800
  • Reference: Your 9 digit Britannia account number, e.g. 123456789. If you have an 8 digit account number please add a '0' to the front of it. Your Britannia account number can be found on your passbook, cashcard or statement.

Please note...

  • If your Bank does not have the ability to quote the 'Reference' as described above, you will not be able to instruct transfers. Please do not reduce your account number by removing digits so it fits as the 'Account Number', as this will cause the transfer to be unsuccessful.
  • Interest will not be accrued until the funds have reached your account
