Does anyone else have to pay in a lot of cheques and put the account number on the back?
Just thought a stamp would save me doing this. Has anyone else done this, or don't you write the number on the back?

He means on the back of each cheque some banks ask you to put your account number on there. Which to me is a great idea if your sending them to your bank and the bank recive 20 cheques and 1 gets lost in a pile your acount number is on the back so they know what bank acount its for.

Dave123 explained it correctly.
I'm with Abbey and they instruct to write your account number on the back for the reasons that Dave gave.

Abbey is free, but you have to use a machine, and for this reason you can't pay cash in.(you can but I wouldn't advise it)

Most days I get cheques and i have to put them in an envelope with a slip and write on the back of them I just thought someone else might have a few tips about the stamp.

I used a stamp for my Nationwide account. I ordered it from Staples and if I remember right it cost me £12. It saved me loads of time. Dai

Set up a template on the PC & put the cheques through the printers document feeder. Occasionally get one that snags but have not had any destroyed. Put a note on the template to remind you to feed the cheques upside down. I also do a quick copy of them to verify who has paid what.

Works for me & takes seconds.

I did print out some sheets of miniature labels with my acc no. on to stick on the back.  However, at less than 100 cheques per month, I started writing on them when the labels ran out.  A stamp sounds fine but the ink would run if it got wet.
