BoS and HF!

I need to pay cash into someone's account using a paying in slip at Bank of Scotland. The last time I went to the Halifaz they claimed not to be able to take the cash.

Does anyone know where a BoS (not HF) branch is in London?

Thanks

Also, why can't I pay cash in at HF!!!

I believe you now can.

My wife got something in the post about it a couple of months ago.

I assume this means they've dampened the bit of string connecting the two systems together and it now works.

Otherwise there are two BoS branches, one near Trafalgar square and one in the City

Yes, I went to the branch in Trafalgar square today. I asked at the info place if I could pay into a BoS account. The branch advertises itsself as BoS business banking. Of course, after 15 minutes in the queue, of course, I cannot pay cash in. So I asked where this could happen and was told in Threadneedle Street. After wandering up and down said Street, I could not find a BoS branch anywhere. So, I have no idea what the people were talking abou since I asked two questions and was given two wrong answers.

Thanks - v. helpful. I should have looked for "counter facilities" I guess.

Apologies for that. There is a BoS branch on Threadneedle street, you can see it from Bishopsgate. However it again may be a business banking only one. A quick google provides this information.

Did you try the Halifax? I'm pretty sure there was a letter sent out about paying via Halifax branches to BoS customers very recently, it may be worth phoning the london head office to confirm, before you go trying to convince a cashier of this.

By people I meant the people at the BoS, not people in this NG, if that is why you say the above sentence!!!

I did misread the original message, but my apologies were also about the Trafalgar square branch not taking deposits.
