A sort code in Nigeria is a 9-digit number and an important factor in your bank account that identifies your bank.

The first three digits are the bank’s standard code, the next tells the bank’s location, and the last five digits are for the bank branch.

So basically, the sort code is used to know where the account originated and it is especially used for e-payments.

How To Find Nigerian Banks Sort Codes

Most times, your sort code can be found on bank statements and in your online banking app.

Also, every bank check leaf has it too. If you take a look at one of your check leaves, there are three sets of numbers underneath the check leaf, the first is your check number, the second is the sort code and the third is your bank account number.

Every branch has different sort codes. While the first 3 digits are always the same, the last six digits differ with the branch of the particular bank.

Giving out your account number and sort code is something you would have to provide when you are doing inter or intra-bank bank funds transfer, especially when you want to receive payments from banks outside Nigeria.

It’s generally considered safe to give out your account number and sort code, however, you need to be smart about it.

Do not share your bank details with people you don’t know or expect payments from.

Also, don’t ever share your PIN, card number, card expiry date and CVV number (that’s the three-digit number at the back of your ATM card). Note that the CVV number is what protects you against fraud and proves to online merchants that you have the physical card with you.
