ValiData is an online service that allows you to instantly check all UK bank sort codes and account numbers, thereby limiting the number of returned payments.

 

When making BACS and CHAPS transfers it is vital that the banking details you're using are valid. An erroneous sort code or account number can mean a delay in payment, and sometimes a costly correction process.
