I just signed up for shopify payments and the sort code of my bank account is needed. Please I am just wondering if I need to put the dashes that between the numbers like presented in the details on my bank account or just the number with no dashes. Example : Should I put it this 23-45-78 or this 234578

Hi, @Appoacx.

 

The banking format will differ and depends on the region of Shopify Payments account that you're applying for. I'll detail some of these differences below:

 

  • For US/Australian merchants: The routing and account numbers should not have any hyphens or extra characters added. They should just be numbers.
  • For Canadian merchants: The routing number should have a hyphen before the institution number, for example: 11111-222.
  • For UK merchants: The sort code (routing number) must have hyphens between the numbers. It will look something like this: 11-22-33. The account number should just include the numbers.
