Some important things to bear in mind:
- Once the cheque is accepted, mark the back of the cheque as 'deposited' until its status reads 'Funds available' in 'Deposit History' within the 'Cheques' section of the app. Then destroy the cheque(s) -tearing or shredding are good ways to do this securely.
- There are limits to the amounts on individual cheques and the total value of cheques you can pay in each day - these will be clearly displayed in the app.
- The 'History' tab is a good place to view cheques paid in previously.
- If a cheque is rejected please do not try to pay it in with the app again - the reason for rejection will be shown in 'History', within the 'Cheques' section of the app.
