Why look up Branch Details?
The industry sorting code directory (ISCD) is a database of information about all the bank/building society branches and bank offices that participate in one or more of the UK clearings systems:
* BACS - Bulk electronic clearing
* CHAPS Sterling - High value, same day sterling payment clearing
* CHAPS Euro - High value, same day euro payment clearing
* Cheque and Credit Clearing - Cheque clearing for Great Britain & Northern Ireland.
These details allow users to find out which transactions are allowed at particular branches.
For a list of the ISCD fields and a full specification visit ISCD Specification.
Why use eSortcode?
The BranchDetails and ValidateGetBranchDetails methods of the eSortcode.com web service encapsulate this process removing database management and update overheads from the user.
