Introduction
Changing the way you write cheques
What do I need to do?
When you are paying a cheque into a building society or bank, do not make the cheque out simply to that organisation. Add further details, such as the name of the person to whom the money is being paid, in the payee line (for instance Earl Shilton Building Society, re: J.Smith). You should also draw a line through unused space on the cheque so unauthorised people cannot add extra numbers or names.

Financial Services Compensation Scheme
The Earl Shilton Building Society is a participant in the Financial Services Compensation Scheme established under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Under the Scheme, payments are limited to a maximum of 100% of the first £35,000 of an investor's total shares and/or deposits in a Building Society. The payment is calculated by reference to all the Investor's protected shares with, and deposits in, the Society. Therefore, for example, if a claimant had two separate accounts with the Society, one containing £2,000 and the other £1,500, he or she would receive £3,500.
