In those circumstances, just enter a short reference, that will explain the purpose of the transfer, eg “OFFERTORY” ; “FHC” ; “CONFIRM” ; “XMAS CLERGY” ; “CAFOD” ; “REFURB” ; “RETREAT” ; “PARTY”..

If your name does not appear in the name of your bank account, then as a reference please enter “YOUR SURNAME, FIRST INITIAL – REFERENCE”.
