Cash and cheque deposits
Alternative deposit solutions to the branch network
Our nationwide network of branches means it's possible to deposit cash and cheques wherever suits your business best.
However, if your business has large volumes to deposit, you should consider our specialist services. These are designed to reduce costs, improve staff safety and ease cash management. You will benefit from a single point of service, whichever solution is right for your business.
Our Cheques Direct service enables businesses that handle more than 20,000 cheques a year to bypass the branch network and send their deposits to a Voucher Processing Centre (VPC). As such, your business will benefit from centralised processing while retaining control of the courier collection service.
Key benefits
- Cost savings - as the service bypasses our branch network and cash centres, we should be able to pass on the reduced processing costs as lower charges
- Efficiency savings - your business engages the courier service, so you can be sure of a simple one-stop collection solution that reflects your business's timetable
- Timeframes - your deposits will be processed in three working days
