I need to write a cheque but haven't done so in years. I still have a cheque book but it says Abbey. Anyone know if I can still use these now it's Santander?
If I can't can Santander give me a cheque in branch?
Will, obviously, find out tomorrow but thought I'd ask here just now.
Thanks.

If it has the Sort Code / Account number of your existing account on - yes.If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0 -
No new cheque book but then I've a vague memory of asking them to stop sending them as they were sending loads. Ah well, may have to get a postal order.0

(If you try to go to the abbey.co.uk website, you get directed to santander site. No reason why the branding on the cheque has to match what they are calling themselves now.)0 -
Called them this morning - they took the first cheque number from the book and confirmed they were still valid and useable :T. That's my hols booked0

I had a Midland Bank cheque book issued to me after they became HSBC and it still worked fine so I wouldnt have thought it would have made a difference.*The RK and FF fan club* #Family*Don’t Be Bitter- Glitter!* #LotsOfLove ‘Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat’ Dad 20.02.200

My chequebook is about ten years old (I hardly ever use cheques).
It is still “Abbey National” with that umbrella logo.
Nevertheless, about four weeks ago I issued a cheque and it went through without a hitch.
(Of course, neither account number nor sorting code has ever changed.)0 -
The only potential problem is if the payee doesn't know that the cheque is still valid. Santander will very happily process it.0
