Account details

To verify that an account and the client are linked, you need to supply the account details. Typically this is the sort code and account number. However for some accounts you also need to supply the roll number.

You need to supply an AccountReference group for each part of the account number. This means for most UK accounts, you need 2 AccountReference groups, but for Roll Number accounts you need 3 AccountReference groups.

The fields you need to supply for each group are:

• ReferenceIndex - the index number for this reference, this must be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 (1 for bank branch code, known as sort code, 2 for account number, 3 for roll number, 4 and 5 are for future development)
• Reference - the client's account details
• TypeOfReference - this must be one of Bank Branch Code, Account Number, or Roll Number. (Bank Code, Check Digit and IBAN are for future development.)
