Many of which take a new approach, and skip the usual costs of sending money around the world.

What is a sort code?
A sort code in banking is used to identify a particular UK bank and branch.
Sort codes are particularly important when sending payments to UK bank accounts, as they help make sure the recipient’s money ends up in the right place without unnecessary delays. You’ll be asked to provide the sort code of the local UK account you’re sending a payment to, so your bank can process your transfer.
If you’re sending a payment to the UK from overseas, you may be asked for the account’s sort code - or you may be asked for an IBAN instead. The account’s IBAN includes the sort code information, so even where you’re only asked for an IBAN the bank will have all that’s needed to make sure your money gets to where it needs to be hassle free.

Sort codes help identify banks when processing domestic electronic payments, payments through Faster Payments or Bacs. But only in the UK. You don't need one to make a payment to your friend in Denmark, for example.
SWIFT codes, like sort codes, also identify banks and financial institutions. This time for international payments. They're sometimes known as BIC codes (Bank Identification Codes).
IBANs international bank account numbers) identify individual bank accounts. They're issued by many banks in Europe, but banks elsewhere in the world are starting to adopt them as well.
