Bank Roll number.. HELP!!!

Hello guys, recently student finance sent me a letter about my finance details. I have there my bank number and sort code, however i cannot find which one is the roll number. Do i need to my local branch and ask them for it?? or can i find it anywhere at all(i have no cheque books) OR is it not needed???

to those students who have applied for student finance please help :biggrin: thank you!

You will only need a roll number if you have a building society account so if you use a bank just ignore it, otherwise contact your branch and they will tell you it.

You do not need a roll number with Natwest. I'm with them and I didn't put one down and all is well :smile:
