You can receive money by bank transfer and BACS

With your icount Prepaid MasterCard you receive your own unique account number and sort code which will allow you to receive funds into your icount current account from any UK bank account as well as receiving money transfers made by your employer, benefits office or other bank transfer sources (including international payments).

You can arrange a bank transfer by:

• Standing order
• Online banking
• Telephone banking
• Visiting your bank

How do I receive money this way?

To arrange a transfer from a bank account into your icount you will need to give the following information to the bank:

• Payee name (the cardholder’s full name)
• Sort code: (08-71-99) Payments will be under the name APS Financial Limited, and are serviced by them on our behalf.
• Account number (this is your unique 8-digit account number which can be found online in the Members’ Area, on your card, and in the documentation you received with the card)

Please ensure you have the correct account number and sort code before making a transfer.
