National Sort Code Information for Republic of Ireland

The National Sort Code data is made available, free of charge, in two ways:

1. The Online Search Facility is useful for identifying one-off sort code-related information such as a bank branch address, phone number or fax number, and will indicate whether or not the particular branch supports an ATM service.
2. The Online Sort Code Database is available to download in three file formats including PDF, CSV and XML. To avail of this facility you must first register on our website. Click here for guidelines on how to register.

The main benefits of both the Online Sort Code Database and the Online Search Facility are:

• Time saved in researching payment clearing information
• Convenient access to the information you need, right on your desktop via the main search page
• Ease of use — all you need is Internet access
