Which one is the sort code

A sort code is a six-digit code that identifies the specific bank branch holding an account, used primarily in the UK and Ireland. It appears as three pairs of numbers (for example, 12-34-56) and works alongside the account number to route payments correctly. In India, the equivalent identifier is the IFSC code, which serves the same purpose for domestic transfers, while international transfers rely on SWIFT/BIC codes instead. If you need to understand what is sort code for receiving payments from UK clients, you will typically provide your Indian bank's SWIFT code rather than a sort code.
