How do I deposit a cheque?

You’ll need to take two clear images of the cheque - one of the front, and one of the back. 

Make sure:

  • There are no other documents, objects or shadows around the cheque

  • It lays flat on a darker, plain surface, under good light

  • All 4 corners of the cheque must be visible in the frame

When you’re ready to make the deposit:  

  • In the app, tap: ‘Get paid’ > ‘Deposit cash and cheques’, and, if this is your first deposit - read and agree to the Terms & Conditions

  • Enter the amount and reference

  • Hold your camera horizontally over the cheque while the app captures the details

When will I receive my cheque deposit?

Cheques will normally clear in 2 business days. 

On the back of the cheque itself, make a note of the date you deposited it. Keep the paper cheque for your records.

If you’ve enabled your in-app notifications, you’ll see a message to confirm a cheque payment. It will show on your transactions timeline, and in your monthly statement - as ‘Cheque’.
