I looked up the instructions at OVO’s Help site. This is what I found:
  

4. Paying my energy bill via a bank transfer

To pay your bill, you can also make a transfer from your bank account to ours. Our bank account number is 83683249 and sort code 20-00-00. 

Remember to include your OVO account number and postcode in the reference field, so we can link payment to your account.

Hey ​@Mandy 1974 

 

Glad to see Firedog has already stopped by with some helpful advice here, and included the correct details for a normal bank transfer to OVO.

 

 

If you usually make this payment via GIRO slip, then you may have noticed a difference in the account number and this is normal. In June 2025, OVO introduced a new bank account for customers making payments via GIRO slip.

 

If you still have any concerns you can share a photo or screenshot and we’ll help confirm this for you.
