Can you deposit in a cheque without knowing your PIN number?

Id like to deposit a cheque into my bank account. Problem is i haven't used the account for about a year and have totally forgotten the PIN number.

First time ive ever deposited a cheque, so i don't know the procedure. Would i need my PIN number with me when depositing the cheque in?

It's a Nationwide Flex Account.

Thanks.

    You would need a PIN if you used an ATM machine but not to pay it in over the counter.

    Ask the counter assistant to get a reminder or new PIN sent to you.

    Same at NW on the inside machines. Pop card in and choose Deposit Only. No PIN is requested.

    Or I am sure Nationwide has quick deposit envelopes where you just fill in the details, pop the cheque in the envelope and then drop it into the box.
