🏦 Paying into a building society · pick your provider
TSB doesn’t use roll numbers. It’s a bank, not a building society, so every account has a standard 6-digit sort code and 8-digit account number. If a form has a roll-number box, leave it blank — the sort code and account number are all you need.
Details verified against each provider’s official “paying in” page in 2026. Always double-check the current sort code, account number and reference in your provider’s app, passbook or latest statement before sending money — collecting accounts can change, and the reference must be exact or the payment may be returned.

Does TSB have a roll number?
No. A TSB current or savings account is identified by a sort code and account number, the same as any UK bank. To receive money, you only need:
- your sort code (6 digits), and
- your account number (8 digits).
A standard TSB account needs nothing more.
Why the roll number question comes up
Roll numbers belong to building societies, which historically used them instead of account numbers. Because TSB has "savings" products and a long high-street history (it separated from Lloyds in 2013), people sometimes assume it works like a building society. It does not, it is a bank.

TSB, Santander, Halifax and Barclays are banks and do not use roll numbers. Yorkshire, Coventry, Skipton and Leeds are building societies, and they are the ones that may still use a roll number.
