Our local Tescos have not accepted cheques since much earlier this year. There is another thread running over on the warnings (or vent, not sure which board) you might want to add to.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

These days for a small business, and im guessing larger also they are not worth it, i dont like accepting them anymore, i dont have the time to go the bank each time i receive one, its the cost of someones time, travel and parking to get to the bank to pay a cheque in, it just isnt worth it these days. Its a worthless bit of paper till its in your account, ive had cheques bounce in the past and its not good. Not counting the fees the bank charge in the first place for accepting my cheque!0

Yeah, let's face it, they're a bit of an outdated method of payment these days.0

I would think each area is stopping them individually then since as I posted above my local Tescos have not taken them for a while.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
