Filling in the back of a Natwest paying-in slip

kiebee

Hi,

I feel a bit daft asking this, but how exactly do I fill in the back of a Natwest paying-in slip. There are two columns, "Details of cheques, etc." and "Sub-total bt. fwd.", with a box at the bottom boxes, "Carried forward" and "Total carried over" respectively. I'm completely stumped with what goes where.

Thanks

Hi,

My husband and myself are Natwest accounts holders and have been for some years now.
We have our Natwest paying in book right in front of us now and can tell you 3 things:
1. We have never filled out the back of a paying in slip, as Natwest can be trusted with this and they have never made a mistake with this yet.
2. There is no requirement to fill out the rear of the slip whether paying in cash, cheques or both anyway.
3. Even if you do fill it in, Natwest only stamp the front of the Counter foil anyway, as that is where the serial number is.

Hope this helps!

Write the value of each cheque in the first column. If they won't all fit in the first column, then continue into the second. Add up everything in the first column and write the total in "Carried forward". Then add up all the cheques from both columns and write this in "Total carried over". The value in "Total carried over" should be the same as the value on the front of the slip.

Are you banking a lot of cheques? If you're only depositing one or two, don't even bother, they won't look at the back anyway.

If you're banking several, all you need is a list of the amounts (don't bother with any further details, like who it's from), this would help the bank staff, if they needed to, to tick them off. And don't bother with sub-totals etc (we mostly have calculators now!), just put the total on the front of the slip.

I also never fill in the back of the slip. All the info they need is on the front

Nice 1 Biggles and Nice 1 Jen.
As Biggles says, whats the point in completing the rear of the slip when they don't look at it anyway.
Nice 1 Jen, I agree when she says...All the info needed is on the front.
Excellent comments from respectful members.
Please also remember Kiebee, to read the small print on the rear of the slip that clearly advises you to keep your own independent record just in case the Bank lose the slip.

There is no requirement to fill in a paying in slip now a days.

You can just give the cash or cheques to the cashier and they will give you a printed reciept.

I only use them when I pay in via the quick deposit slot to save writing out the envelope. My branch is very busy I don't like waiting in the queues, but if I do pay in over the counter, I use my card via chip and pin
