What is a "checking" accout? Also by sort code and account number?

    I think you mean a chequing account, its just another name for a current account, you know, cheque book, debit/withdrawal card, paying in book etc etc

    The xx-xx-xx is sort code and the other is your account number :)

    Depending on your card it may not have your account number on it. the xx-xx-xx is your sort code. You'd be better off looking in your cheque book for your account number. It is eight digits long though normally. Or, if you have a midland bank / HSBC switch card the pan number will read 675940xxxx and then your account number, some other banks probably work like this too.

    Checking account is a somewhat american term, methinks.
