Building Society Roll Number

Does anyone happen to know what one of these is?
Thanks:smile:

On that section of the student finance application form, which I assume you are referring to, you EITHER put down your bank account number (if your account is with a bank, which it probably is - this will be written on your cheque book or a statement) or you put your building society roll number down (if your account is with a building society, which it probabily isn't).

Are you definately with a building society, and not a bank? If you are, then it should list it somewhere on your account details. If not, just ring up your building society to ask. Roll numbers are quite outdated though, so they might not even have one, so you can probably get away with leaving it blank if you've already provided your account number and sort code. Ring your bank anyway though, to double check.

I have both, a bank account number (and sort code) and a roll number. I'm with Halifax, who used to be a building society before they demutualised and turned into a bank. Seems that they still use both systems in parallel. I just put it all down.
If you've got the sort code AND account number, you'll be fine - that's enough to uniquely identify your account. The roll number is an alternative that you'll sometimes have, but you shouldn't need to worry about not having one, or knowing what yours is.
