Paying into another bank.

It says in the front of my Lloyds Bank paying in book that 'you can use these paying in slips to deposit into your account from any branch of any bank in the UK'.

Does this really mean that if I can't get to Lloyds I can walk into the HSBC near where I work? If that's the case, is there likely to be a fee?

  • As far as i know other banks wont do it witout a fee(thats if they can).

    They dont want long ques for there customers when you are not even hsbc customer and they wont be making any money from you.

    A quick phone call to HSBC might get you an answer?


    Alternatively, have a look at the information on branch banking on the HSBC website?

    If you have a HSBC account then they may accept your deposit. Otherwise, they will normally refuse or apply a charge.

    Sister banks in the same group (such as Bank of Scotland) will usually accept credits without charge.

    You can also use the slips to pay into your Lloyds account at a post office. It's free of charge, although it does take a couple of days for cheques to be credited to your account.
