Banks aren't going to suddenly drop all money laundering checks just because someone makes the choice to use a lot of cash and use several cheques

So all Barclays staff had to do was establish the identity of the OP's wife, ask where the monies came from and then allow the OP's wife to deposit the monies into his account. "Money laundering" is merely a spurious excuse British banks use for their poor customer service.

That is why some banks offer paying in slips, including Barclays however I can fully understand banks who don't. Your suggestion is also quite difficult from a data protection point of view.

No, it’s a legal requirement that can bring fine of literally billions of pounds if it’s not done properly.
