Direct debit first two digits not recognised
Trying to add broadband to my Sky pakage, you need to put in the 1st two digits of your direct debit bank account to proceed but Sky is saying that the digets are incorrect, they are not !! Anyone else have this issue ?

Hi @Kennyluke Remember that bank account numbers are 8 digits. Have you tried with or without leading zeros. 1st two digits sounds unusual, normally last digits as for many thousands that will be 00.
