How to pay a small cheque in to Nationwide

Most of the new "fintech"/challenger banks don't do cheques at all (Monzo, Starling, Revolut et al)
I know it's already been corrected, but for the avoidance of doubt Starling allow cheques up to £1000 via the app: Pay in a cheque online by mobile phone - Starling Bank | Starling

Apart from those giant "novelty" cheques beloved of local media and lottery winners, I had no idea that there were different cheque "types". Perhaps the app providers need to qualify their claims ("….read most cheques…")

The article, weirdly, suggests the issue is that it doesn't have perforated edges which seems odd as none of the company issue cheques I ever had were like that!
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

but could not deposit it online as it did not have perforated edges and would not scan.
How does that stop a cheque from being deposited on line ? I have had a look in my bank file and there are no visible perforated edges on most of them.
Certainly a case here though for having more than one current account. Had a problem a while back with not being able to deposit cheques in the Santander app - no problemo, scanned it into my Lloyds app instead.

I expect if the BBC had actually fact checked, they would have found out it was a non-story, so didn't bother.

I suspect she just couldn't get it to scan and read that online or something

Slow news day at the BBC, wasting space on this silly attention seeking woman.
Yates, from Crackington Haven, said she wanted the bank to "reconsider their policy" as she believed it "disenfranchised the rural population".
Clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer, those lucky folks in Crackington Haven, having her around, ensuring they're franchised!! 🙄

Not something I do very often but do find that LBG's apps (at least on my phone) are more reluctant to scan than NWB's or Santander's.

So - forgetting this Cornish woman - the advice is to open another account with another bank …. REALLY ?
If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.0 -
Yes, not just for the cheque-scanning thing but for resilience in case of problems with your primary bank.
