Bank Statement Question

Gunderful

Hi,

I am just checking my historical bank statements at Natwest and have a number of entries with "C/R" as the transaction type. The amounts vary from £50 up to a few thousand.

Anyone have an idea what C/R refers to? The payment description is just an 8 digit number.

I know a bit about banking so my first thought was Cheque given the payment description but then it should be CHQ, also not BACS (BAC), Direct Debit (DD).

Have you thought about actually guerying it with the bank?

Are they credits or debits?

CR = Credit not sure what a C/R is though.

Do you mean C/L?

Yes but they weren't able to help, shows the same at their end

I would raise a concern so someone will look into in more detial.

Im in work tomorrow so ill find out what a C/R is.

Ive never seen a C/R on a statement before personally for what I can remember.

Was they debits or credits? whats the number shown on the statement?

On current online statements C/R means a (manual) credit and is followed by a 6 figure number which is the number of the paying in slip you used - they have numbers just like cheques.

On a paper statement the same thing appears as CREDIT nnnnnn followed by the sort code of the branch it was paid in at.
