What is a paying-in book? What is the difference between a cheque book and a paying-in book?

i got one book which says ''Paid in by''

and another book which says ''PAY''

A cheque book you used to pay people with and a paying in book you use to pay money into your account.

If you can't tell the difference between cheques and a paying in book, should you really have a bank account at all?

I did actually question whether the OP was taking the mick.

When I got my first bank account at the age of 11, I thought my paying in book was a cheque book...! Haha.

When I got mine, I asked for a cheque book and got a polite letter informing me that I had to wait until I was 16 .

Doesn't hurt to start out ignorant - only to end up so.

The book which says "paid in by" is your paying in book - cash paid in by you. Cash you pay into your bank account.


The book which says "Pay" means money you pay to people from your bank account - this is your Cheque Book.

Is that really necessary, it's just a simple question.

It's a fair question. Most ordinary cheque books have a section at the back containing paying-in slips, so it's a combined book.

Most people who only pay money in in person occasionally probably never realise what a paying in slip is - you just use your card or sign a slip at the cashier's desk.

If you make lots of payments in then you might need a full paying in book - ie a thicker book composed only of tear-off paying in slips.

Whenever I pay into my account I've never used my card!
I always have to fill in a paying in slip before hand.

If the OP had to ask such simple question one wonders whether it's just the question that is simple.
