The Cheque and Credit Clearing Company (which manages the cheque-clearing system) has announced that from 30 October 2017, there’ll be a new, image-based process. And from the second half of 2018, all UK banks will be using this process.

If you are a Barclays customer you can do it from the end of October.

This thread should be in the UK or US forum. Which would you like me to move it to?

I wasn't sure that's why I put it in the technology forum. Probably best to move it to the UK forum.

Thanks.

Surely cheques must be on the way out ?

Some companies still issue cheques. Old people still use cheques. Small companies may still use cheques to avoid credit card fees. For some private transactions I may still use a cheque. School trips ect probably still use cheques, sending money in a birthday cards , probably still use a cheque.

Maybe birthday and Christmas cards are on their way out.

I found out today this is now available on my HSBC UK account through my phone app. Now I don't need to throw those small value cheques away.

I don't have it yet on my HSBC UK phone app

If I ever get a paper cheque then I'll worry about it.
