Thanks but I have a few questions. Is it one sort code for all branches? And, I opened d account when it was oceanic bank. Which sort code am I 2 use now, Oceanic or Ecobank?

This excel file on this link has all the sort codes -
http://zenithbank.com/SORTCODES.xls


For example, Bank Phb appears here (caveat) but iSuppose Keystone should retain that.

attaka: A sort code identifies a specific branch of a bank. It has 9-digits. first 3 are the bank's code, the next is the location and the last 5 are for the branch. It is printed on every single checkleaf, the middle set of characters on the MICR line .

^^^That should answer @beamed's question.

Every branch of a bank has a different sortcode. The bank code(first three nos) is always the same but the last six numbers, differs with the branch of the particular bank

Different branches have different sort codes, so you have to give the branch and the sort code.

please guys, what is a sort code? i understand "sort" in basic English but not in banking.

jammyng: please guys, what is a sort code? i understand "sort" in basic English but not in banking.

Sort code is used in banks when u want to transfer funds to another bank. It is in number form. The transfer can be inter or intra - bank.

They should make this available on all banks' websites.

Dis code is 4 their Head Office in Lagos.
050: Bank Code (from CBN)
15: State Code (Lagos State)
001: Branch Code (within d Bank)
0: Sort Digit (auto-generated by software)

Nice thread.

More info: On a cheque leaves, there r sum numbers @ d lower part of it i.e "00000001" 050150010 ".1234567890". 01 .. Serial no of d cheque, Sort code, Account number & Transaction code. The Sort code is meant to know where d account was originated.

You try but its wrong. I'm not a banker but I work where I carry out online transfer τ̅☺ our clients and I know that sort codes are branch-specific. A bank might have similar numbers for the first few digits, but the last few of the nine digit are unique τ̅☺ the branch where the account is domiciled.
The whole list of bank sort codes in nigeria is like a booklet.
If you got cheque book, underneath there are three set of numbers; the first is cheque number, the second is the sort code while the third is your account number.

pheemmii: More info: On a cheque leaves, there r sum numbers @ d lower part of it i.e "00000001" 050150010 ".1234567890". 01 .. Serial no of d cheque, Sort code, Account number & Transaction code. The Sort code is meant to know where d account was originated.

Frosti: They should make this available on all banks' websites.

Unfortunately no bank has it on their website, infact some bankers don't know what sort code is.

ace1: Please I need the sort code for Ecobank, Rumuokoro branch, Port Harcourt. Bank's closed already and I need to fill it on a form. Checked Ecobank's website cant find it dere.

The sort code is -

056210080|| RUMUOKORO, PHC||11, EAST- WEST ROAD, RUMUOKORO JUNCTION, PORT-HARCOURT

That bank was formally Oceanic bank.

i do online transfers both inter- and intrabank.i never used a sort code,so on what occasion or condition would i need a sort code?

Dat GTBank sort code belongs 2 a particular branch & so I think 4 oda listed banks. U guys shld stop confusing pple. Instead, tell dem 2 request 4rm dr Bank's Branch.

The stanbicibtc code is wrong. Kindly refer to any Stanbicibtc IBTC Branch or call 0700-CALL-STANBIC

This sort code issue has been a bit annoying to me because no bank should ask a customer for a branch sort code, it is totally uncalled for. Every bank has the sortcode for all banks, the stupid thing some banks do is ask you for branch sortcode which as a banker i know is not necessary

This is the way it works every bank has a unique sort code which identifies the bank e.g. First bank: 011150000 and your account no. is peculiar to the branch were you opened the account.

So incase of an epayment the bank sortcode locates your bank and your account no. Directs the fund to your account. Simple

Please do I need a sort code to buy Garri in d market

Thanks guys for answering my questions.

pls my friend , don"t follow what someone qouted as sort code . just go to ur bank branch/nearby same bank to ask 4 sortcode.

Sort code is very easy to get,just bring out your cheque ooo and look at the 3 set of numbers at that at the lowest white part of the cheque leaf which you are normally asked not to sign on.
The set of numbers at the middle is the sort code. The set of numbers on the right is normally the account number,while the first set of numbers is the cheque numbers.

binger: Fisrt Bank own is incorrect,the correct SORT code is 011257208.I just collected it from their receptionist yesterday.I wonder how many others are incorrect?

It is not incorrect, just that different branches of same bank has diff sort codes. If you look closely you'll find out that the code u have has similar initial digits with @poster's

muyenmuyen: pls my friend , don"t follow what someone qouted as sort code . just go to ur bank branch/nearby same bank to ask 4 sortcode.

In this country, we are fond of making simple things seem difficult. Zenith bank happens to have these codes online and I provided the link. Some of them I verified on the twitter handle of these banks (just to crosscheck) as tweeps do ask banks this question.

What if I can't go to the bank on saturday and I need it that day? Too much "Where-Is-UMYA-" over sorting.

What's the biggie in a sort code Even CBN should have it on its website. Phew
