Paying in Cheque Query

Good Afternoon,

I want to pay in a cheque to my Natwest bank account. The cheque has my full name on, but a different address to the one my account is registered to. Will Natwest allow me to pay in the cheque?

Thanks
:cool:

    Why does the cheque have an address on, was this a previous address?

    All you can do is present this at the bank. No reason as far as I can see why they should not accept this.

    Yes - the address is of no relevance to the cheque only the payee's name is important.

    They might ask of course why you are having a cheque posted to a separate address to the one you have registered with the bank but I am sure you will have an explanation.

    (Could this be a HMRC cheque where the name and address is shown?)

    Yes, it is an HMRC Tax Rebate. I recently moved for work reasons, although I am only on a temporary contract duration unknown which is why I haven't informed my bank of my temporary address.

    Thank you both for your help :money:

    I really doubt if they will check the address on the cheque at all

    It won't be a problem. The address won't be checked at all.
