I'm just wondering if anyone knows which of the main banks has the easiest route to ordering a cheque book - ideally via their app or internet banking?

    A cheque book how quaint, I can’t remember the last time I even wrote out a cheque. 

    You can order one via online banking with Santander, Nationwide and HSBC as I’ve chequed 😂😂

    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    RBS and Nat West will allow you to do it online provided it's a replacement cheque book.
    If it's your first cheque book then a branch visit with ID is required.

    I have one with Metro but they asked me if I wanted one when I opened the account.

    What a faff!

    Thanks all. I found Santander to be the easiest, followed by HSBC but I had to chat to a bot to do it
