Bank Account Number Too Long

[mend_us_this]

Does anyone here have a Co-operative Bank business account with a 10 digit long account number?

I just tried to change my eBay business account to use my business bank account instead of my personal bank account, but there is an 8 digit limit on the account number.

No, but I googled it.

Are the last 2 numbers 00, 56, 53 or 80?

If so, try the first 8 digits. This is just an opinion, I suggest you send a small amount to the account to see if it works. (and maybe ebay does some verification anyway.)

Yes, last 2 digits are 00.  Thanks for the suggestion to send a small amount to the account, that's a great idea.

Using Duck Duck Go to search the interweb came up blank 🙄

Works fine with the 00 left off the end.  Thanks for your help 👍
