Cheque cashing

To pay transfer by cheque at the time of your appeal:

If you do not have a bank account in the UK or you would like to avoid the process of waiting for cheque cashing, UNIStream UK provides the possibility to pay transfer by cheque at the time of your appeal.

  2. Proof of residence (bank statement, utility bill, etc. - not older than two months );
  3. Name and address of the company that issued the cheque;
  4. Contact phone of the company (landline).

If the company issuing the cheque has the status of «Alert» («Doubtful") then the client will be charged an additional fee of 1.50 GBP.

If the customer wishes to cash a cheque for the first time, the branch officer is obliged to take a picture of the customer to place in the customer file.

Cheques for amounts less than 1,000GBP, are cashed immediately.
