I don’t think Tom wrote it
His BDE is always present
Digital cheque imaging was enabled for me yesterday.
Also, a minor detail… they’ve changed the font in the app and it looks very nice!
Just taken a look and cheque imaging is working for me too!
Didn’t notice any difference on the font though. Do you have any before/after screenshots?
I noticed the font maybe a week or two ago. Where is cheque imaging in the app? Maybe I’m just missing it.
Under Add Money menu.
No idea how much they are spending on advertising at the moment, but I see the TV advert on literally every single ad break no matter what Channel I am on! (BBC excluded obviously)
Are you guys using business or personal accounts? I have a cheque from HMRC for my business and I’ve been putting off sending it by post hoping cheque imaging would be released.
I have both but it seems I’m not able to access it yet. They’re releasing it in batches it seems. I just get the post it in page that I got before.
One android user on money saving expert said he had it, so maybe it’s android only for now, or maybe it’s only active for a tiny percentage to give it a real world test
I’ll check on my Android app now
Edit: It’s live in the Android app for me . Primarily an iOS user so didn’t realise. Seems they’ve gone for Android first and iOS likely in the next update, I guess.
I don’t have any before screenshots. This is on Android, I’m told that it’s similar to the font already in use on iOS. You can see the new font in @phildawson’s post above.
I have both Business and Personal accounts and can confirm cheque imaging is working on both
An iOS update was released this morning. The release notes mention that support for cheque imaging is now “rolling out”.
I got excited and opened the app to check, but I don’t have it yet.
Yeah - the same. Saw the update, weirdly got excited (even though I don’t actually have any cheques to cash) and then disappointed it wasn’t actually there.
It does say it’s a phased roll-out so at least it’s definitely coming and probably hopefully rolled out for everyone in the next month.
Once I’ve got it, I’ll close down my ‘safety’ Co-op bank account that I only have to paying in cheques.
It’s in my latest update on android.
Now just waiting for my cheque from my cancelled Pontins break to try it out
I did have access to cheque imaging already though through my HSBC account, which is purely open for access to their regular saver.
Also: what is the Description
field for?
You can write; It’s a cheque, made of paper, perforations down the left side.
