Why aren't Society account details validating when I make a payment from an external account?
When making an online payment from another bank or building society you might encounter a warning message that suggests you are unable to validate Dudley Building Society account details.
This is because the matching service can currently only complete this check where a customer’s account can be identified from the sort code and account number. However, we use a Head Office Collection account and then assign payments received to individual accounts, rather than the payment going directly to individual accounts. Therefore, the check will never validate in this instance.
Please be assured, there is no need to worry about this error message. Providing you have ensured that the account details entered are correct, and that your correct roll number/account number is included within the reference, the payment will make it to us regardless of the warning.
HOW CAN I CHECK A PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED?
If you are registered for our Online Service, you can check to see whether your payment has been received (please allow 24 hours). Or you can register here.
