Important information:
When you enter the sort code it may show as a HSBC Bank PLC account because we use them as our clearing bank.
It’s important to use a payee when depositing funds electronically, it protects you and makes sure you’re sending your money to the right person. When sending deposits to us please use the payee name Paragon Bank PLC, it’ll help ‘match’ the account you’re sending money to and the name associated with that account. If you get a ‘no match’ or ‘unavailable’ message please make sure you’re quoting the right account number, sort code and Paragon Bank PLC as the payee, you should then get a ‘match’ message from your bank or building society.
Your payment reference makes sure we’re able to identify and apply your deposit to your Paragon account, without it we might have to return your funds or delay funding your account. If you have entered the sort code, payee and payment reference correctly, and still see a ‘no match’ or ‘unavailable’ message, please contact your bank or building society.
We will credit cheques to your account on the day we receive them, although it can take up to three days to clear the banking system. You’ll start to earn interest from the second business day after we receive your cheque.
