This is what I’ve got in my Tesla account

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?

Yep, exactly this - just the standard sort code and account number as if you were paying a (very, very, very expensive) telephone bill.

The reference to use was also included just above the bank details. For me this was the invoice number and not the RN number

That’s brilliant thank you very much

I have no experience of this process, but I would be tempted to use the IBAN + SWIFT numbers anyway. IBANs have a built-in checksum, which can help avoid typos on the account number (always a concern for me when sending large payments!).

Using swift is going to end up costing you money.

Best to send through a small sum of money and check the source code a few hours to a working day later to see that it ends up on the depositpaid (long time so exact name may be wrong) field - quite a few older posts explain how to do this.

I did this, although spoke to them to check they’d received it rather than looked at the source code. Easy and painless

So I gave it a go today with the normal account number & sort code provided and it worked... phew! Thank you all for your help

pick it up 1 week today and I can’t wait

I made one £50k+ payment via my Nationwide account using CHAPS (April this year, Tesla Citibank address, a/c number & sort code). Smooth transaction, cleared quickly and was able to mail across proof of payment immediately to Tesla. Well worth the £20 handling fee.

Slightly concerning that my online banking couldn't confirm the name match for Tesla's Citibank account when setting up the new payee. Maybe Citibank don't participate in the scheme?

Mine was the same using Bank of Scotland (Halifax).....

Halifax couldn't confirm the name for me either. There is specifically a note on the Halifax site that says not all bank accounts are able to verify the name. Its also possible the account isn't actually under the name Tesla Motors Limited, but some variation of.
