Halifax Cheque

Big_boy_q

Hi,

I am a halifax customer, but I need to make a cheque deposit, I tryied a while ago and make the deposit into Lloyds, but was informed that they could not accpet it. And I had to got to a Halifax branch. The issue is that there is no local halifax branch near work or home.

Is depositng the cheque the only option I have via the Halifax, or what other options are they? Also do I need a cheque book, with a deposit slip.

(Cant you tell I do not use cheques oftern)

Hi, you could post the cheque to your nearest branch and they will process it for you. You don't need to have a paying in slip, just make sure that your sort code and account number or roll number are on the back of the cheque along with your name and address.

Unless you use one of the cheque cashing shops who will charge a fee to cash the cheque, then posting it to the nearest branch is the best option really.

since you have a Lloyds nearby, don't you think it'd be a good idea to open an account with them

Once they Lloyds systems are merged with Halifax you should be able to do this

But until then posting is the best option (or open an account with a bank which is closer)

Halifax can issue a paying-in book on request, which will allow you to pay-in at other banks (e.g. Lloyds) but the other bank will most certainly charge for this service.

As others have suggested, posting the cheque is probably your best option.

Many thanks - looks like posting the cheque is the best viable solution.
