Santander App - Paying Cheques In

Just discovered this morning that the facility of paying cheques in by means of taking an image on your smartphone only appears to be available in US.
What a pity that it has never been rolled out in the UK.
Just wondering if anyone can advise on which UK banks offer this facility or point me in the right direction?

    Lloyds and Hsbc have this facility on their app. There is a max value of cheque you can pay in though - sorry unsure what that is and varies between  bank.
  • Also Halifax.

    HSBC, First Direct, Halifax, Lloyds, Bank of Scotland, Starling, Barclays

    The limit at most banks per cheque is £500 though some have temporarily increased it to £1000 due to Covid.
  • Thanks for the replies.
    All sorted now with a little used First Direct account which has this option unknown to me.
