    Halifax is open Saturday mornings (mine is anyway)

    Or give the cash to family or friend who can bank it during opening hours, they can then transfer you it from their bank

    I ended up giving the money to a friend and they just BACS me the amount back. Annoying but thats the easiest way. There really should be an automatic way of getting money into your bank.

    I think you can pay in with your debit card.
    Yes, you only need your bank card to pay money in. No paying in slip required :)

    Some banks now accept cheques as photos via the app now, maybe they should accept cash as a photo as well?  :D

    On a more serious thought, did you bank (or post office) not offer Saturday morning hours?

    I Googled 'pay into  RBS bank at post office and the result is I can pay in cash with pay in slip or chip ad pin debit card but cheques need a pay in slip.

    Tghis page has a nice table which shows you what banking you can do at the PO https://www.postoffice.co.uk/everydaybanking

    Looks like only Nationwide and TSB don't allow depositing cash with a debit card.

    I'm still trying to visit as few places as possible but keep ending up with bits of cash from some elderly neighbours that I'm still doing bits of shopping for. I have been ending up paying it in to my Amazon account as other than deliveries the only physical shopping I'm doing is at my local Co-op and I just Paypoint it at the till, showing the barcode on my phone. Works fine, shows up instantly to spend. Any Paypoint, epay, post office or Poundland (!!) can do this. If the bar code is too much faff you can ask for an Amazon claim code which is basically a top-up voucher you type in to your account later. Any amount from £5 to £250.
