Bloody stupid new machines they've had installed. I can no longer just push up to 75 cheques in an envelope and be done in 30 secs.

Now it processes each cheque while you wait and rejects some of them for absolutely no apparent reason.

Rant over

Indeed, it's not good.  I don't like being outside having to spend ages at an ATM.  It's poor for security reasons.  It's also annoying for anyone queueing behind me.  To add to the woes, the two external ATMs at my local branch are so close together, you could be rubbing shoulders with the person next to you.  I've had more spare room when peeing at half time at the football.

A couple of asterix's too many there Adam 

The guy at the front desk did show me how to input the amount manually if the reading fails, but like Walter said, it takes sooooooo long now it's ridiculous.

I moved away from the Santander account. There's a reason it's cheap. You could of course post them, but I never trusted it.

I've been posting cheques for 3 years with FSB Co-Op business banking and never had any problems at all, really easy to do.

ME TOO!

Early in the morning with loads to deposit and drunks walking about, it's not good.
I have a post office near by, so I'm paying in cash there now and sending cheques in the post. Haven't got time to mess around with the silly machines.

No franky, it's bundles of cheques up to 20 a time into the machine now. It reads them and spit the faulty ones back out at you. Not had a faultless transaction to date. Keep getting rejected cheques for no reason which is a pita

[samson]

Shortly you will be able to take a photo of the cheque and it will go into your account !
Can't remember which bank is rolling it out first, but it will be handy not having to queue in line at the bank with eyes piercing your back

I wouldn't fancy posting 50 or 60 cheques.  Too risky.

I just post my cheques in the envelopes they supply?

Is there a reason why you don't do that?

never had problems. TOUCH WOOD!

Items go missing in the post. If you had 75 cheques go missing that's an enormous amount of hassle and work to get the rewritten. I just never trusted it.

Why do you have so many cheques? I don't get any. Pay in bank or cash

[Rich Wilts]

I think the new machines are great. Better than the old system of slotting them in one at a time, taking about a minute to digest each one.

The one big advantage of feeding each individual cheque is you get a photocopy of each one as proof !

Important or valuable stuff i would'nt dream of using Royal Mail to many bloody foreigners had passports go missing years ago not a bloody chance .

[Frankybadboy]

i put mine into envelopes and pay in to santander atm simple takes a bout 30 seconds

[cgh window cleaning]

I have always preferred to pay in over the counter so many banks are encouraging people to use these machines and do there work the ques are normally shorter.
