Capturing UK Bank Account Number & Sort Code

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms

    I wish to capture a user's bank details such as:

    • Payee Name
    • UK Bank Name
    • Account Number (xxxxxxxx)
    • Sort Code (format xx-xx-xx or xxxxxx)

    What are the best input fields for 'Account Number' and 'Sort Code'?

    How would you recommend validating them against the above requirements e.g. 8 digits for account number and 6 digits or 2-2-2 digits for sort code?

    Many thanks

    Sounds like you can use the Input Mask functionality to accomplish this with a single line text input:

    Have you already tried that?

    Wow. Just tried it.

    Thank you. Can you confirm if the input mask functionality is validated both client and server side?

    E.g if client turns off js, will it still do validation against the mask?

    It is on the client side only, with JavaScript, to help them enter valid input. You can validate on the server using the gform_validation filter.

    The input mask will encourage users to enter the correct format and the gform_validation filter can ensure that the data you accept is valid.
