I've had a recent bill but noticed that the ovo sort code has changed for bank transfers and I'm a bit wary of making the payment. Has anyone else had this ?

Hey ​

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.
