A banker's draft is not your money; it's the bank's, coming from funds held in the bank's account, and that is why it's such a secure method of payment (assuming the bank is not going to fail). You need to put the sort code, account No, and cheque No. that appear on the draft. So not your own information.

At the bottom of the cheque the numbering sequence from left to right is Cheque number>sort code>account number.

The Account number and the sort code to be filled in the application
are that of the applicant.

I have the same questions. My banker's draft shows my bank account's sort code and account number as a reference. Which sort code and account number shall I fill on form?

Lucapooka and Rainbow123 has different opinions. Anyone from experience can share knowledge?

Lucapooka is correct. Your details are not relevant as you have paid the bank and it is now effectively the bank paying. Therefore you need to put the banks details on the payment page.

you need to put the banks sort code & account number, not yours, the money has already left your account when bank issued the draft so put the numbers from the magnetic strip at the bottom of the draft
