Our sort code

To make payments to or from your account(s) via the banking system - it is critical  that you use the correct sort code when setting up the arrangements.

  1. To make payments into your account from within the UK, or for a Direct Debit payment from your Cash Transactor account:

    Sort code 60 - 92 - 04
    (operated through one of our main bankers - NatWest Bank Plc)
    Bank Account Number The first 8 digits of your YBS account number
    Reference or Roll number The full 10 digits of your YBS account number (direct credits only)

    Typical types of transaction are:

    CHAPS - 'Same day value' electronic payments which, when received into accounts, are treated as cleared funds.

    Faster Payments - We accept faster payments into our sort codes from UK banks offering an outward faster payment service to their customers. Standing orders, internet and telephone banking payments can be sent using this service, subject to payment limits.

    BACS - These tend to be regular payment arrangements into accounts, such as standing orders, salaries and DWP payments.

    Direct Debits - Arrangements for payments from a Cash Transactor card account to a third party - e.g. to pay utility bills, insurance premiums or Sky subscriptions.

Verified by Visa and Mastercard Securecode

Additional security for your debit card transactions.

The Society has adopted Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode to provide you with extra security when using your debit card to make an online deposit into your Yorkshire Building Society savings account.  This reassures your card issuer that it is you making the transaction and makes it much harder for your card to be used fraudulently.

If you have not already registered your card(s) for the scheme then you can find out more information by speaking to your card issuer or clicking on the links below.
