Paying in cash at post office?

[EdamFantastic]

Is this possible with HSBC account? I have googled but only found information about commercial accounts, I have a basic personal bank account.

Nearest bank branches have all closed but I can walk to the post office. I’ve been getting shopping for my Nan and she’s been paying me back in cash so wanted to deposit it.

I would have thought so. The staff wear gloves. How are world has changed. I paid 20p for an envelope yesterday and was terrified I would have to use my card. I didn’t.

Yes you can pay in cash at the post office as well as withdraw

the list of banks includes HSBC. It will help if you do your own paying in slip though you can just use your card.

Yes, you can pay cash into your account, according to the Post Office website:

A lot of banks are now doing 'companion cards' that allow people to easily transfer money for this very reason. It saves her getting cash out and saves you needing to put it in your bank.

Eg Natwest companion card but I'm sure other banks do similar.

Great, thanks everyone.

Yep it’s just like using the bank

Why would you be terrified of using your card? 😂

I regularly use my card for tiny penny amounts.

I think OP was asking if the post office accept HSBC deposits, not if they will touch the money.

Terrified? Of using your card in a shop?

Not everything or everyone makes sense in this world. Take this as your special moment to feel superior for no good reason.

So you don’t even have a reason? You’re just randomly terrified?

You just need your card

Superior? For asking why the idea of paying by card in a shop is terrifying? It's a perfectly legitimate question. Why did it terrify you?

Op, Sainsbury's and probably other supermarkets do a volunteer payment card. The vulnerable person puts money on the card online (possibly able to ring too) and card is used by the person shopping.

Thanks everyone. I went earlier and have been able to pay it in

She does have another bank card but has given it to her son who lives 200 miles away 🤷‍♀️ we (me and my family) have been doing all her shopping for her so would make sense for us to have it but that’s what she wanted to do so I think we’re left with having to do it this way. She doesn’t do online banking.

It's not her actual bank card you need. Think the supermarket provides a card that can be topped up

I think you r family need to speak to your uncle. About the bank card or see if he can do a balance transfer? Does your gran go and withdraw the money
