First enter the prisoner number and press ‘confirm’, and then select their date of birth from the calendar picker. 

When you click confirm, your new reference number will be shown.

Click the ‘copy’ button to copy the reference to your clipboard.  Alternatively, if you want to use the reference later, or on another device for online banking, simply write down the reference number, including the special characters (- and /)

Login to your online banking account, and choose to setup a new payee (or amend the current one you have setup)

• Account Name:  Scottish Prison Service Prisoner Funds Central

   

• Account No.:      21170685

   

• Sort Code:          83-06-08

   

Click into the box for payee reference and then right click and choose to ‘paste’ (or Control+’X’ button together if using a Windows machine) to paste your reference number in, or manually type it in if you have written it down previously.

If your bank does not support extended characters (the ‘-‘ and/or ‘/’ ), then please replace the ‘-‘ in the generated reference with a space, and remove the ‘/’ characters so the date is stated in 8 digits (as an example, the reference should have a format like 123456 01011970 with the Prisoner number, followed by a space, and then the full date of birth without any dividers).  Please take care not to include a space before the Prisoner Number, or after the date of birth.

Save the payee.

That’s it!  Your payee in your online banking is now correctly setup to receive your money each and every time you use this payee, whilst they are in custody.

Please note, payments from non-UK banks are not permitted.
