Iv just been 2 he post office to pay in a cheque 2 my a & l account. she said i needed to put it into a sealed envolep. i am now wishing i didnt switch accounts

I've had an A&L account for years.
I don't find it too much of a hassle, but I must admit I usually post any cheques I receive in one envelope.
It does cost the price of a stamp but it gets there quite quick and I've a post box ouside my work.

When you are next on internet banking request some deposit envelopes. You then just pop the deposit slip and chq in one of these pre-addressed envelopes and hand it to Post office cashier and she will give you a receipt for a chq deposit.

My old post office told me it is safer to hand the envelope into them, than to put it in post box, as it then goes direct to A&L with all the PO's banking stuff. Also you don't need to put a stamp on it if you hand it over the counter.

iv just ordered sum,can i put more than 1 cheque in the same envelope? and what else do i need to put in there?

Yes, cheque or cheques, and a paying slip. If you pay in cheques a lot, it might be an idea to order a separate paying in book (again, via the internet banking).

If you can easily get a an A&L branch, you can pay cheques in using the cash machine. Just need your account card and the cheque(s). The machine gives you an envelope.

fkelanne

do i need to put my account number on the back of the cheques?

JohalaReewi

Yes if you are paying via the post office or the post.

From the A&L website

At Post Office® branches
To pay in a cheque just fill in a deposit slip, write your account number on the back of the cheque and hand it over, sealed in a deposit envelope.

By Post
If posting your cheques, please make sure you write your 9 digit account number on the back of the cheque and send it to the Personal Customer Service Centre, Alliance & Leicester, Bootle, GIR 0AA.
