    Yes, it works really well.
  • Looking at some customer help Tweets, they have really been holding out on this, haven’t they? Good job it’s arrived, considering the lack of physical branches now! I hadn’t noticed the lack of the function since I opened a 123-Lite current account, just assumed it was there as most other banks already offer it.

    Only £500 per cheque / £1000 per day though. a bit behind the times there.  LLoyds BOS is £3000 / £5000

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    I don't know how long it's been there, but a while - I first used it Dec 16th.

    The pop up info only appeared on my app today. Used the app yesterday (and several times over Christmas) and first time it's popped up!

    At last - been waiting for this feature for ages!!!
  • I also had the pop-up message yesterday (28th December 2022).

    I have just deposited a cheque using the Santander app and, unlike the HSBC and Halifax banking apps, it recognises the amount on the cheque without having to type it in manually - although it did struggle with reading the date on the cheque (confirmed via an easy to use scroll-wheel).

    I’ve been into the Santander app as I’ve a small cheque to deposit and it’s a real pain getting to my nearest branch. No mention of a paying in facility and on line chat says there’s not one ???
