    I keep my chequebook in my handbag. I suppose for a chap that could be awkward, but you could take a deposit slip from your chequebook and keep it in your wallet...

    You could, but lots of people don't use cheques anymore.

    Exactly why I suggested taking only a deposit slip! The chequebook can be left at home.

    That was a surprise when I got my NatWest card! Not sure yet how I plan to get my account number when I need it to give people. What do people do? I was thinking of going into the mobile app to get the account number if needed.

    That's what I do.:)
  • Memorise four digits and write the other four on the signature slip.

    It'll confuse card thief a into thinking it's your pin and block the card when they keep trying it.
  • Peaceful waters that's a great idea! :T

    It was opened online. I've got my account number, it came in the post, but getting it on demand was what I wondered other people did.
    Well TBH I memorised mine. It's filed away in there with my RAF Service No. Something that gets etched into your brain never to be forgotten.

    I've taken a screen print of the account list on my online banking (NWB) and just check my photo stream if I need the numbers (obviously I've cropped the pic to remove other details).

    All this talk of memorising your account details, carrying deposit slips around with you, or writing down your account details in weird and wonderful ways. It would be easier to change your account to a bank which shows the details on your debit card.

    I didn't start out with the intention of memorising it , it just happened. For the same reason that I can remember every telephone number, be it the first phone my parents had in the 60s to my current 2 mobiles. It just happens. Use it a few times and Robert is your parent's brother - its gone in and stuck
