INSTEAD, YOU'LL NEED TO USE YOUR DEBIT CARD AND ENTER YOUR PIN. 12:24, 03 Jun 2025 Lloyds Bank has warned customers they can no longer pay in cheques using a pay-in slip at their

nearest Post Office - from next week. Instead, you'll need to use your debit card and enter your PIN. A Lloyds Banking Group spokesperson told The Sun : "Most customers use our app

as the easiest way to pay in a cheque, by taking a photo on their phone and letting us take care of the rest. Very few customers are choosing to deposit cheques in at the Post Office."

This week, Lloyds Bank raised the monthly fee for its Club Lloyds packaged bank account from £3 to £5. However, customers who deposit £2,000 or more each month can still avoid paying this

fee. READ MORE UK FACES 'SPANISH SCORCHER' HEATWAVE WITH 31C AS EXACT DATE IT STARTS ANNOUNCED Packaged bank accounts, like Club Lloyds, offer more than just standard banking—they
