Got my first statement from Barclaycard, no info on how to pay by cheque? Looked on their website and it says by post with giro, but no giro is included and doesn't say payable to who?

Anyone got one? Can I make it payable to the bank and me, and go into branch? Santander and Halifax give post and branch options by cheque on their statements with info.

ADDED NOTE:
I'm really not interested in your personal opinion of using cheques or vendetta against them; if you don't use them then that's fine, so why question those who do? Hundreds of millions of cheques are used every year by tens of millions of people worth hundreds of billions in the UK. It works for me and that is fine.

    Why do you have to ask? It's a payment method, like any other, which is my preferred.

    I don't want to set up a Direct Debit, and I'm certainly not doing PingIt.

    Well I could quote from Barclaycard FAQ's but since you have an attitude I won't bother.

    It's not an attitude, I just don't see the relevance of asking. It had nothing to do with my question. This isn't a debate on cheques. I don't question how others wish to pay, I just answer their question.
  • Cheque payment details are detailed on this page. https://www.barclaycard.co.uk/personal/credit-cards/managing-credit . If you have the Barclaycard app installed on your phone you can just press the pay now button on that and pay by debt card if you don't want a direct debt, costs less than cheque as no stamp required, and less time.
  • You can pay by debit card, standing order, direct debit...

    So many ways other than using antiquated cheques

    My Barclaycard statements have a perforated paying in slip on the 2nd page (reverse side). Check yours?

    Thanks for the link.

    Don't use apps. I'm fine with cheques.

    Thanks but not the question I was asking. Not looking for people's personal opinion on cheques.

    No there's nothing there at all. Surprising. Halifax includes a giro and a freepost envelope, though I usually just do it it branch anyway.
