Apologies for the unusual thread but as an Internet banking noob I recently tried to send my down payment to Tesla Financial Services with little success, In my Tesla account they say wire the funds to the following account. Nationwide insist on address as well which Tesla do not provide, my question is has anyone who banks with Nationwide found it easy to send the down payment? Thank you for your time.

Difficulty sending down payment from Nationwide Building Society

To add to this I’ve ordered a White / Black SR+ and collection from Heathrow on the 4th Sept and I’m pretty excited to say the least!

Thanks, I did wonder that but if an IBAN number is needed does that mean International payment?

You’re right there is, so should I ignore the IBAN and SWIFT numbers they provided as it’s not an international payment and just use the account number & sort code? Again apologies I really don’t use internet banking.

Thank you, much appreciated. I was really worried I’d miss my collection date
I wouldn't worry too much.
If you are concerned, just pop into your local Nationwide tomorrow, they will help out.
There is no rush to pay - as long as its paid by collection time.
Last year people were doing it on the day!

That’s reassuring thanks, I didn’t know if there was another way of paying it or not but I was just worried I’d send the deposit to the wrong account or something as the IBAN & SWIFT numbers baffled me.

This is new condition that Nationwide have only introduced recently. They say that every bank has to match a bank transfer to a name, but so far I have only hit this problem with Nationwide.
In my case I set up the transfer to Tesla on my Nationwide account in advance (before actually transferring any money) and have yet to make the cash transfer.
They say they can't match the name, but they also say I can still make the transfer if I want to. In other words it is a warning, not a block. But until I make the actual transfer I cant confirm if that is true.

Damn... that’s worrying, might ring Tesla and see if they can shed any light in this. If they say just send it to the normal account & sort code it should be fairly straight forward
Ring Tesla and ask for the address.
There are couple of Tesla accounts. I paid mine into the one shown on my account page on the website and this wasn’t the account for Tesla Financial Services but some other part of Tesla. It was transferred once I had chased a couple of times on the phone.
I’d give Tesla FS a call and check the account details.

What does your invoice show? Mine’s got the Horton Road address shown:
re the account number, this is shown with the sort code at the bottom of the invoice:
I was worried about me making a typo and sending £50k+ to a random account, so set up the payment, sent a £1k payment, and then rang Tesla the next day to make sure I’d got it right.
Edit: the account number and sort code I sent my payment to, with no problems, is the one shown at the bottom (18-50-08, 17559860)

Thanks for this, can I check that you didn’t need to worry about the IBAN or SWIFT numbers just the normal account number & sort code?
