Do you pay the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) by card, cheque, bank transfer or deposit account? If so, you will need to be aware of the changes to our bank account details that became effective in January 2018.

In order to align with new banking legislation, the IPO’s sort code and International Bank Account Number (IBAN) has now changed. The new details are:

Sort code: 20 18 23
Account number: 80531766
Swift code: BARCGB22
IBAN number: GB92 BARC 2018 2380 5317 66

The account re-direction service that has been in place will shortly be coming to an end. Customers are requested to update their records with the new details by 31 October 2022.
