[bednobs]

just found a couple dated 13/04/23 - will i still be ablt to pay them in?

[Toorak]

They are valid for 6 months so you should be ok

[ToraToraTora]

yep 6 months.

[Peter Pedant]

6 mo
get a move on: the banks love an excuse not to process them

[ubasses]

In theory it is 6 months, in reality due to so much automation they will most likely be paid. The Banks cover themselves by saying they 'reserve the right' to pay cheques over 6 months old.

[Old_Geezer]

Most 6 months, some 12. May well say on the cheque.

[Canary42]

Present it promptly then - - most banks charge for rejecting cheques (and most payers charge for issuing another).

If you bank online you can do it that way

[bobbinwales]

So long as its not one you paidin before using a picture of the cheque on your banking app

[Peter Pedant]

they will most likely be paid.
I have had a few duds when I tried to sneak them in

like train tickets, Banks love kicking olds, infirm, *** in the arriss and run away laughing

whilst we wave sticks and shout 'we fed your children you know!'

[bednobs]
