Some important things to bear in mind:

  • Once the cheque is accepted, mark the back of the cheque as 'deposited' until its status reads ‘Funds available’ in ‘Deposit History’ within the ‘Cheques’ section of the app. Then destroy the cheque(s) - tearing or shredding are good ways to do this securely.
  • There are limits to the amounts on individual cheques and the total value of cheques you can pay in each day - these will be clearly displayed in the app.
  • The ‘History’ tab is a good place to view cheques paid in previously.
  • If a cheque is rejected please do not try to pay it in with the app again - the reason for rejection will be shown in ‘History’, within the ‘Cheques’ section of the app.

Pay in a cheque – frequently asked questions

  • It’s a way to pay in cheques using your mobile device. The app uses your device camera to capture images of the cheque and ‘reads’ the details to pay the money into your account. It’s simple, convenient and secure – and can save you a trip to a branch.

  • Funds will normally be available in your account at the end of the next working day. So, if you deposit a cheque before 10pm on a normal weekday, that’s classed as the first working day. Your money will be available by the end of the following working day.

  • You can deposit most types of cheque accepted by UK banks and in pounds sterling. This includes UK Government Payable Orders, postal orders, banker’s drafts and Building Society cheques – but not traveller’s cheques, bank giro credits and various non-standard cheques. If we don’t accept a particular type of cheque, the app will tell you when you try to take the image.
