✅ Cheque Imaging 📱

I gave the sort code a quick check again in case they had joined the cheque clearance gang on the QT:

Until they join up I cannot imagine they would even begin to start any coding for the app and backend

TL;DR No

From what I remember back when Monzo staff last discussed it, the beginning of the process is to develop the back-end ready to plug-in to the ICS at a set integration window. These only occur a few times per year, and if you miss one you have to wait for the next opportunity.

There would then be a period of testing before developing the front-end and finally launching the feature.

We don’t currently have any news on this developing any further to share right now but we do intend to keep this Topic up to date when there’s any change to that.

Barclays Bank in the UK offer this. The system can be touchy but it does work and you can keep the check yourself or throw it away once the money is credited into your account.
Not sure about other banks though.

Lol. That post you replied to is 6 years old. By now loads and loads of UK banks offer cheque imaging.

Cheque imaging would be a grand thing to have. Was flipping’ useful when I had a few PPI claims come back successful and the banks sent their cheques. Used Starling to process the smaller value items which I transferred to Monzo. Didn’t want to use Monzo’s postal service, so deposited the bigger items into another current account of mine and transferred accordingly. It’d be nice to reduce the number of bank accounts required to cover all the facilities. :wink:

This is exactly why Monzo doesn’t need to provide cheque imaging.
