Solutions for your business

Pay In Cheque Barclays App

Access a range of domestic and international products and services, giving you the flexibility to meet your specific payment and collection needs. Our payments services include Bacs, CHAPS and Faster Payments.

Banks where you can pay in cheques with your phone. These are the only banks I can find which offer this feature. I found the feature in the “More” tab at the bottom of the app. There’s is a maximum cheque value of £500 and a daily limit of £1,000.

Barclays is rolling out its mobile phone cheque service to another 1m customers, allowing them to pay in cheques by taking a photo on their smartphone rather than visiting a branch.
Cheque Negotiation: lets you use the funds before the cheque has cleared and is credited to the account on the second working day. Cheque Collection: is a much slower service, where we wait for an answer from the bank upon which the cheque is drawn before crediting your account with the funds. This takes on average between four to seven weeks.

In 2018, UK banks introduced an image-based cheque clearing system, which aimed to make cheques a secure and convenient future payment method.
The new system meant that:
- Cheques can clear faster with funds being made available within two business days of the cheque being received (Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays).
- If you issue a cheque, funds will leave your account faster.
Choose from a wide range of methods that can make initiating or receiving payments more efficient.

International Bank Account Numbers
Important information
Please note that all procedures relating to the completion and submission of the CHAPS and international payments remain unchanged.
As per Payment Services Regulations 2017, from 13 January 2018 any intra EU/EEA payments must be submitted with the SHA charging code. If you submit an intra EU/EEA payment with the OUR charge code we will convert this into SHA charge code.
We support payment service providers (PSPs) seeking to provide their own customers with services to transfer funds within the UK. We do so by providing PSPs with indirect access to the UK payment schemes. Barclays has subscribed to the voluntary Code of Conduct for Indirect Access Providers since 30 September 2015, including the current version which was published in November 2018¹.
You can choose from two types of indirect access:
Agency bank access
You are given your own sort code and can provide your customers with their own unique account number on that sort code.
This provides access to all UK clearing systems (see table below), allows you to appear as a UK clearing bank in your own right, and provides all the advantages of direct access without the high costs and operational requirements.
Eligibility: For agency bank access, you must be a payment services provider as laid down in the Payment Services Regulations 2017. Further eligibility criteria will include assessments for anti-money laundering, credit risk, procedural capability for scheme compliance and technical capability. Further details are available in this document (PDF 51KB)†.
Non-agency access
You are given a settlement account in our books and typically identify your underlying beneficiary customer for payments by the reference in the payment instruction. This allows you to make and receive a variety of payments including Faster Payments, Bacs and CHAPS via Barclays.
Eligibility: Eligibility criteria for non-agency access will depend upon the precise services you require but will include assessments for anti-money laundering and credit risk. Further details are available in this document (PDF 51KB)†.
