Paying Santander cheques in to the Post Office

alternate

My boss wants me to take a bunch of cheques to the PO and bank them.
She swears blind I only need the paying in book.  Says that is how she does it.
Both the PO site and Santander site say you need a paying in slip and a bank branded envelope.
Anyone have experience of this or an I going to look like an idiot at the post office?
oh, and it is a corporate account so I apparently can't just go to a santander branch and do it.
thx

I pay all my cheques into my bank via a photo these days but when I payed in via the post office in the past, yes I had as you say branded envelopes to pay into Santander.

Your PO may let you get away with it. mine does because its so hard to get the slips - the envelopes you just order from Santandar

yeah we have envelopes on order - but then they claim they posted then on the 5th of November.

At my PO you need the special envelope, I've forgotten the paying in slip in the past but the money still finds its way to the right place. Santander are very slow with post, I ordered a statement I needed for ID purposes but had to find another way round it because they took so long.

I have always needed a paying in slip in a proper Santander envelope to pay cheques in to the Post Office

The Post Office probably provided an envelope when your boss visited - hopefully they will have one when you go too but it would be a good idea to order some
