The Payments Council has also introduced a best practice recommending businesses and banks refresh their reference data weekly; whilst smaller businesses should ensure their data is updated at the very least on a monthly basis. The British and Irish sort codes are only used for domestic money transfers. The Sort Code Checker uses the latest industry data, which is updated weekly, in line with industry practice. The International Bank Account Number (IBAN) is an international standard for identifying bank accounts across national borders with a minimal risk of propagating transcription errors. As part of these reforms, each bank branch has been given a unique 6-digit sort code, which identifies the Bank, location and branch number (and assigned to one of eleven clearinghouses operated by the Bank of Ghana). Although there is a strong correlation between BIC Codes and sort codes, sort codes are not explicitly encoded into BIC codes.
