Banking at the post office.

[cluffy]

Plenty on here will have been caught banking

 

[the boot]

Still a big queue on giro day

Can't say I've noticed. Plenty people posting stuff though. I used ryhope village today. In and out. Better than parking in the town or Chester road for the Barclays. I hear they shutting the Barclays over southwick. No need for it anymore.

Bank transfers can't get lost in the post and give you a bit of breathing space though if you're having cashflow problems.

This man knows the score.

Yes they are, missus works for them, once Lloyd’s went in southwick it was a downward spiral, tbf most banks are moving away from counter service

That's because we're ahead of them with online banking and doing anything with cheques is going backwards really.

Oh totally, the US system of waiting several weeks for funds between smaller banks is barking mad. They put chip and pin cards out then stopped cause the poor dears couldn't differentiate between chip and sign, chip and pin and just signing

 

[Chappers]

Use it all the time to bank my cheques. Would be a right pain in the arse if it wasn't on my doorstep

Saying that, the US had the concept of not signing for owt under £30 years before we did (ie contactless). They just didn’t have the contactless bit, you had to put your card in the slot but just didn’t have to sign for it.

I use cheques occasionally and get some payments to me by cheque. I keep a postal account solely for cashing cheques then transfer the money out.

Where's it gonna stop mate. Not be long for the owld drive through ATM's I bet.

You can drop a cheque in if your back allows, but it's hardly a replacement for a proper branch.

I tried this at Houghton Post Office about 3 month ago and they basically laughed in my face.

Seen the clip of hoton post office man, it's still 1960 in there.

 

[lenshack]

No excuse for cheques these days mind. None at all.

Cheques are still very handy for such as farmers to do instant business with each other,
in the absence of a big fat wad of cash.

I was in a few weeks back and said to my Mam that it's never changed since I was a girl. She said its never changed since she was a girl

It’s not instant though is it? The definition of a cheque is an IOU.

I was taking the piss with the coins thing like.

Mercer's pension people want a cheque for £150 off me for an overpayment on me da's pension after he passed away. I don't have a cheque book and haven't written one out for at least 15 years. When I asked them for their bank details so I could do a transfer they refused and insisted on a cheque. So we're stuck in limbo.

Send them a cheque, unlimboed

Use bacs then..

So you spend more money on the phone bill?

 

[hairynaker]

Just found today out you can bank at the post office.
Pay cheques and cash into accounts.
I know this may have cropped up on here before I joined as it been about sine 2015 but
Gerrin !!!!!

If you use a banking app you can most probably pay your cheques in with that, I have did a few of late.
