answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The provision of the national insurance number to a bank or building society is an essential part of paying benefits and pensions direct. All benefits and pensions administered by the Department for Work and Pensions use the customer's national insurance number as a payment reference. The national insurance number provides a unique audit trail of individual transactions so that, for example, returned or other queried payments can be quickly traced and customer enquiries dealt with effectively. Customers are made aware on claim forms that their National Insurance number (NINO) may be shown on bank/building society account statements.</p><p> </p><p>We actually provide the banks with a payment reference up to 18 characters (which incorporates the national insurance number). The Department is aware that banks use the information in the exact format provided to them by DWP, but ultimately how much of it appears on the customer’s statement is the responsibility of the bank. DWP does not request or instruct banks to show the national insurance numbers on their customer’s bank statements.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 15/06/2015 16:22:37 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
