What is the Ireland National Sort Code (NSC)?

Ireland's National Sort Code system (NSC), was used to identify individual banks and branches, to guide domestic and international payments to their intended recipient. Like a routing code in the US, the NSC would make sure that the payment was directed to the right bank - and ultimately the right individual account.

NSCs are no longer normally used in Ireland. Instead they have been incorporated into the new system of BIC numbers and IBANs (International Bank Account Numbers) which replaced them. 

If you're sending an international transfer to someone in Ireland you're likely to be asked to provide an IBAN and a BIC/SWIFT number. If your recipient has given you a National Sort Code and account number instead, you can validate your NSC using the NSC checker here - and then convert these details to the more up to date IBAN using this online IBAN calculator.

NSC example

An NSC follows a standard format to show which bank your account is held at. You'll usually see NSC codes written using a 6 digit code, as follows:

  • 12-34-56

When written as an NSC code, the 6 digits are broken up into three pairs. When the NSC is incorporated into an IBAN you'll find it after the bank identifier code, and split into a set of 4 digits followed by a set of 2.

Here's an example:

  • IBAN: IE12 BANK 1234 5612 3456 78

The underlined digits are the NSC incorporated into the IBAN. Learn more about IBANs, here.
