xlnc99 said:How did you amend the cheque to show £480 instead of £80. Usually they are typed if from a company. Im more impressed that you managed to do that. Cnat belive the banks only picked it up after a few months and that it actually went through the mobile app. Very concerning lack of security here
Physical cheques are rarely checked manually when being processed, so it'll almost always end up being on the person/company writing the cheque to notice any anomalies (which is likely why it took a while for this to get noticed.) The bank would have no idea how much the drawer intended the cheque to be for unless they're employing mind-readers.
I see no reason why the app process would be any different.0
