Enter your account name, account number, and sort code once in settings. Every invoice you send then carries them under “Pay by bank transfer”, on the PDF and on the online invoice, so whoever pays it has the details in front of them, a homeowner at the kitchen table or a business’s accounts team. A transfer costs you nothing to receive, and you record it yourself when it lands.

Enter your account name, account number, and sort code in settings. Sendinvo checks the account number is 8 digits and the sort code 6 before it saves them.
They sit under “Pay by bank transfer” on the invoice PDF and on the online invoice. Quotes and credit notes leave them off, because only an invoice asks to be paid.
Sendinvo can’t see your bank account, so you record the transfer. Open the invoice and record a payment: the amount is already the balance due, and Paid by is already Bank transfer, unless this client paid another way last time.
Most clients pay by transfer, a homeowner from their banking app and a business on its payment run, whatever else you put on the invoice. So the sort code and the account number have to be on the document, correct, and easy to find.
There’s no processor between your client’s bank and yours, so nothing is deducted on the way. Invoice £4,200.00 and £4,200.00 lands in your account. Sendinvo takes no cut of what you invoice either; we charge a flat monthly subscription instead of a percentage.
Your bank details aren’t optional on an invoice. The send is blocked until the account name, the 8-digit account number, and the 6-digit sort code are all in, because an invoice with no way to pay it only comes back to you. Quotes and credit notes go out without them.
A transfer is a payment you record yourself. Open the invoice, record a payment, and the amount is already the balance due and Paid by is already Bank transfer, or however this client paid last time, so a payment in full is two taps. If the client pays part of it, type the smaller figure and the invoice sits at part paid until the rest arrives. On a CIS invoice the balance due is already the net after the deduction, so recording the net a main contractor actually transferred settles the invoice in full. See recording payments and refunds for the full picture.
The two get mixed up. What’s on this page is a manual transfer: your client copies the sort code and account number into their own banking app, the money arrives in your bank account, no fee is taken, and you record it. An instant bank payment is a different thing. It sits on the pay page, your client approves it in their own banking app with nothing to copy across, the money reaches your Stripe account, Stripe’s fee comes out of it, and the invoice marks itself off. That one needs a connected Stripe account and a sterling invoice, and Stripe caps it at £10,000. Both can sit on the same invoice, and your client picks.
In settings, once: your account name, account number, and sort code. Every invoice you send from then on carries them, on the PDF and on the online invoice. Sendinvo asks for all three before it will send an invoice, so a client is never left with an invoice and no way to pay it.
The details are on the invoice itself, under “Pay by bank transfer”: account name, account number, and sort code. Whoever pays it, a homeowner or a business’s accounts team, has them on the PDF and on the online invoice, with nothing to sign up to and nothing to ring you about.
No. Sendinvo can’t see your bank account, so a transfer is a payment you record yourself. Open the invoice and record a payment: the amount is already the balance due, and Paid by is already Bank transfer, unless this client paid another way last time. Record less than the full amount and the invoice sits at part paid until the rest comes in.
No. Your client’s bank pays yours directly, so the amount on the invoice is the amount that reaches you, and Sendinvo takes no cut of what you invoice. The trade-off is the minute it takes to record it, because nothing tells Sendinvo the money arrived.
No. What’s on this page is a manual transfer: your client copies the sort code and account number into their own banking app, the money arrives in your bank account, and you record it. An instant bank payment sits on the pay page instead, needs a connected Stripe account, costs Stripe’s fee, and marks the invoice off by itself. You can offer both on the same invoice and let your client choose.
