Odd question, isn't it.
Got an income tax refund in the form of a cheque.
Sent it off - as I've done for many years - by post to my bank (Barclays)
branch with paying in slip.
Came back as address unknown.
They've apparently closed the Wandsworth branch. I've no idea which branch
I'm now with.
Thought the Barclay's website would give an address for such things, if
now a central one.
And you'd have thought they'd have had mail re-directed...

six months this year.
"Barclays bank has reported a 25% rise in statutory pre-tax profits
to £3.1bn for the six months to the end of June.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-33699423
Where would they end up if they frittered it all away putting
adresses on websites or arranging for mail to be re-directed ?
I used to pay off my Barclaycard and the odd bill at a branch
1/2 a mile from my house. Before that closed they'd already
introduced nightsafe type things - you put the cheque and
bill into their envelope - pull the handle - that's it.
Once it closed I used the same thing at a main branch
with no counter service to speak of. Blow me went to another
branch I happened to be passing to do the same thing -
luckily no queue at the counters "sorry sir we don't have
(whatever they're called) in all our branches "

service. I moved to Nationwide years ago as they have local branches,
local telephone numbers and actually answer the phone and are helpful(if
incompetent at times). I tried to get service from HSBC recently, it was
a hopeless situation. Call centre in India and an admin office in
Birmingham which had lost all the information. The local bank employee
said, I don't attempt to phone in if I'm sick, India just loses the
call. I find my US bank far superior at customer service and they answer
the phone 24/7 with a good attitude.

Don't pay in cheques by post. We get quite a few from out holiday leeting business and the last two that I sent to my branch were interecepted in the post and stolen. One had the amount changed from £400 to £1400.

You would think this was hard to do with all the identity stuff you have to do to open an account. When I rang my bank, saying it was either them or GPO staff, they said definitely the latter.
However, my bank RBS and several others now have a very good paying in service vie the local post office. It works fine and saves me driving 20 miles tyo pay in a cheque.

You just give the cheque to the cashier and let them swipe your

You can use the Post Office to pay into NatWest and Lloyd's accounts

send money back to you. But if you are still required to make a return
there's an option towards the end under "If you have paid too much tax"
to give
bank or building society account details for any repayment". Mind you
that's only for income tax so even if you had (or have) done that it
wouldn't work if your repayment was for other taxes or duties.

Got nowhere trying to find out the correct procedure via Barclays site.
You'd have thought 'paying in a cheque' in their search box would have
given a clue - but not.
Eventually made it to a branch. And talked to a human. Was told I no
longer have a branch as such. And can post a cheque to any branch with
pay-in slip and they will process it.
They took the cheque in question and the pay in slip and put them in a
'special' envelope with a tear off strip as a receipt. So much for the
paperless revolution. ;-)
Both my cheques and pay in books have my old branch address on them. I
take it when I need new ones, they'll be blank?

Likely to be a much more frequent occurrence in future since NatWest are
amongst others closing the one they used in their TV advert claiming
that they would never close the last bank in town.

My business banking account provides prepaid envelopes for sending
cheques direct to their central clearing centre.
Increasingly you can pay cheques in at branches without having to fill
in any paper form at all. Bank card and PIN will do it scans the cheque.

Only time I've visited the branch was to pick up an insurance policy that
they had the physical copy of. My branch originally was a local one, and
when that closed they transferred me to one I wouldn't have chosen, as
there are several closer - and much more convenient to get to either by
car or PT. But that coincided with the arrival of electronic banking, so
having pretty basic finances had no need to visit the branch. Just sent
any cheques etc to them by post.

Saw something like that at a local branch yesterday. But I'm happy to pay
for a stamp. ;-)

It's just that there simply isn't what I'd call a handy branch for me. The
nearest one is next to a medium Sainsbury which does have a car park, but
so often full I can't be bothered with it. All the other reasonably local
branches would require a special journey.
I'm told there is a phone app where you take a pic of the cheque. But
although I do have a smart phone it's on PAYG with data switched off.
Dunno if that app would work via my LAN. Ideally, I'd be able to scan the
cheque on the PC and pay it in that way. Would save the price of a stamp.

Here's a clue... Barclays' Leicester processing centre is going to be a
fucking great big office building. Not a semi-detached house.
You could put "Barclays, Leicester" on the envelope, and it'd get there
just as efficiently.

perhaps Barclays use a back door since a careful look at the sign by the
door says HSBC LE1. Enlarging the map does show Barclays name over the roof.

there's one much nearer than the nearest Barclays branch - probably
within walking distance of your house.
A few days ago I decided to put my money where my mouth is and try out
my local post office for paying a cheque into a Lloyds account which I
administer. This is a rural post office in the corner of a shop on a
housing estate - not a main High Street jobbie. I was given a special
envelope with a space on the front to write the sort code and account
number. I inserted the cheque and paying-in slip, sealed it and handed
it to the cashier. I was given a printed receipt (for the envelope -
nothing about the contents).
I noticed that the envelope said "Personal Accounts Only". I was
actually paying the cheque into a Treasurers account for a
non-profit-making organisation - which is classed by Lloyds as a
business account. Anyway, I thought "What the hell!" and decided to see
what would happen. This occurred at about 4pm on whatever day it was,
and by lunchtime the next day the cheque had been credited to the account.
I shall certainly use that service in future, 'cos it's much easier than
having to drive to a bank and pay for parking.

I don't have to queue at the postbox at the end of my road - about 100
yards away.

Makes more sense to do it with a smartphone app from
their point of view because they all have a camera of some
sort and many don’t even have a PC at all anymore.

Which is true. But at my age, I find a PC far easier to use by a factor of
hundreds.

I'd say it would depend on whether the centre handles other stuff for
Barclays.
The address I've now been given by Barclays is headed 'Postal Credit'
which may mean it is pre-sorted before delivery which might speed things
up.

Right. The address I was given by Barclays yesterday was :-
Postal Credits
RRD
51 Saffron Road
Leicester
LE87 2BB
and Googling that address comes up with R.R. Donnelly which is a data
processing company.
So mystery solved, thanks.

to do something like that in the app is something even
someone like you can manage.
You just launch the app, point the phone at the cheque,
watch the screen to see that the app can see the cheque,
wait for the app to indicate that it has read the cheque.
Even you should be able to manage that.
