Need some help add funds onto a load&go card from the UK

[chrisfo]

Hello guys, I have tried to add funds to a load&go card from the UK using halifax but seem to having problems.

I get this message..

Sorry the sort code you've provided doesn't accept credits. Please check that you've entered the number correctly or contact the recipient for an alternative way to pay.

Is there a way to pay through: Make an international payment?

Any advise would be brilliant!
As I need this done ASAP

Prob best to move this to the UK section for more replies chrisfo.

Are you referring to the Load and Go cards from Australia?

What type of Halifax account are you using?

I've only used Australian banks to do online reloads.

What is your Halifax account?

More than likely there will be a difference in sort codes etc. Also, you are going to get a high fee for international payments.

[chrisfo]

Yes those are the little buggers.

I've done a bit of a search on and off this forum but couldn't seem to find the right answer.

My account is and Easycash account, its a non current account.

Does these card accept deposits from any bank even in Australia?

How about paypal and using the postbillpay.com.au option?

I have used OZ bank accounts several times.

I have looked into this option but I would prefer to try and use it just like a bank account.

But seems like that is almost impossible.

Any suggestions of any other cards may be useful?

is sort code the same as swift code as opposed to BSB number? I would imagine you'd need the Heritage bank swift code to do an international transfer. Keep in mind Load and Go is not meant to be used as a bank account

[GreenBean]

Sort code is the same as a BSB.

Swift code differs.

Wel there's 7 minutes of my life I'll never see again.

Spoke to Load and Go.

UK bank account can not be used to top up this card.

Is it even possible to sign up for one of these from the UK?
