    Hi Folks

    I've an expense cheque from work for a small amount thats just gone over 6 months (Dated 25th July 2013, amount is less than €100)

    If I lodge it Monday, will it still be accepted?

    Your pdf guide to personal banking merely states it "may" not be accepted
    Its a real pain to get new cheques issued at work, and I thought I had another month before it expired. I was away from the office and it took me months to get this first cheque. 

    "
    Out-of-date cheques
    If the date on a cheque is more than six months old, we may not pay
    "

    Thanks
    John

    Hi John,

    Thanks for posting.

    In this instance, you may be best to have the cheque re-issued. We can't guarantee an out of date cheque will be honoured, as it has to go through clearing with the issuing bank. 

    Thanks,
    Tara

    Nobody will examine the cheque physically because of the small amount so it will be accepted. However if the drawer of the cheque has a problem with this, and spots it within a day of it hitting their account, they could stop it. Other than that, you're home free
