I don't post often but I thought it worth mentioning cheques.
Once upon a time they were common, so common we had an MICR reader for logging the details and also scan both sides as standard. We had a whole system, as you would expect.
These days, no, sorry. Local bank branch closed. No staff "taking cheques to bank" every day. Now it is a couple a year.
We have ways to handle them, but they are hassle, so we charge an admin fee. Since 2024 this is £50+VAT.
Please bear this in mind.
