i am trying to send money online from my Commercial Bank account to m Natwest account in the UK but it is asking for a chip sort code but i have called my bank and they have no idea what this is so wondering if anybody else has any ideas????

Huh? I put in my regular sort code. Something like 40-25-32 and my payments to HSBC UK are going through fine

Did you Google it first?

You can go to this CHIPS website to find the code for your bank. http://www.chips.org/uid/uid_form.php

The ridiculous thing about this CBQ Internet banking system when adding a beneficiary is that they would ask you for a "Chip sort code" but when you enter the proper code, it will then ask you to enter "a correct SWIFT code".

Duh!

As for as I know, swift code is for tele-transfer but danwel is asking about online direct banking transfer I guess..

I too tried sending outside of the country. I just ignored the line, but it still accepted my new beneficiary and it deducted aswell. Last time, they called my mobile and spent 30 mins to get properinformation on otherside(I did the transaction from the branch, but still they have issues). Now I am waiting for their call again..;-)
