Does anybody know how you read the card details from a hsbc debit card the card number is to long.?

Question

i have a hsbc debit card and i know the account nymber is mixed up in the long card number, does anyone know how you interperet the account number and the card number,

Answer 1

its the last 8 or 9 numbers on the card thats you account number

Answer 2

Is the card number a sequence of six numbers a space, then a sequence of 12 numbers?

If so, heres what they mean:

first six digits:

digits one to four are unique to the card

digits five and six are the first two digits of your sort code

second set of twelve digits

digits 1 to 4 are the rest of your sort code

the remainder is your account number.

If you memorise your sort code which is very easy to do, then memorise your account number which is just like remembering a phone number all that leaves is the first four digits -  memorise that and you can quote the whole 18 digit number in one go

just recall the following

Unique code (1234)

Sort Code (01-23-45)

Account Number (12345678)
