Chase customers can deposit cash into a current account at UK PayPoint locations by generating a barcode in the Chase app. Deposits are free, with a monthly limit of £500 and an annual limit of £6,000; the source does not specify when the service launched or how quickly funds appear.
Chase customers in the UK can now deposit cash into their current accounts at PayPoint locations, using a barcode generated in the Chase app. Deposits are free, with a limit of £500 per month and an annual cap of £6,000, giving customers a way to pay notes and coins into a digital current account through local retailers.
To make a deposit, customers select the cash deposit option in the Chase app, choose the current account to receive the money and enter the amount. The app produces a barcode that remains valid for 20 minutes. The customer presents it to a cashier at a PayPoint location, hands over the cash and receives a receipt. Finextra reports that the money then appears in the Chase account, but does not give a processing-time estimate.
The service accepts deposits from £10 to £500 a month and has an annual limit of £6,000. Chase customers pay no fee for using it, according to the report. The stated monthly and annual caps both apply; the source does not explain how the annual limit is administered if a customer makes deposits across multiple months.
PayPoint has more than 30,000 locations across the UK, according to the source. It also states that more than 99% of the population lives within one mile of a PayPoint store. That is a broad coverage figure, not a guarantee that every location can process a Chase deposit or that every customer will have a store within that distance.
Cash Deposits Through Local Shops
The service adds a cash deposit route for customers whose banking is conducted through Chase’s app. People who receive cash, such as through work or personal transactions, can pay some of it into a Chase current account without relying solely on a branch-based deposit service. The PayPoint retail network may make that option accessible in places where customers live or work, though the source does not provide a location-by-location service list.
The limits mean the feature is designed for small or occasional deposits, rather than unrestricted cash banking: customers can deposit no more than £500 in a month and £6,000 in a year. The absence of a fee removes a direct charge for using the facility, but the figures do not establish how widely customers will use it or whether it meets the needs of people who regularly deposit larger sums.

How Chase’s Cash Option Works
Chase’s service combines an app-based account with an in-person cash handover. Customers begin the transaction digitally, but complete it at a PayPoint counter using a time-limited barcode. The arrangement allows cash to be directed to a selected current account while relying on the retail network for the physical deposit.
In comments reported by Finextra, Chase head of payments Paridhi Rathore said the partnership is intended to give customers “simple and convenient ways to manage their money.” PayPoint banking and digital engagement director Anthony Sappor said its network would offer a way to deposit cash “locally and securely.” These are the companies’ descriptions of the service; the report does not provide independent measures of convenience or security.
““We want banking with Chase to fit around customers’ lives, giving them simple and convenient ways to manage their money.””

Service Access and Deposit Timing
The report does not state when the service launched, whether it is available to every Chase customer immediately, or whether some PayPoint branches cannot process deposits. It also gives no precise timeframe for when deposited cash becomes available in an account, beyond saying the money appears there.
Other operational details are not provided, including whether customers must present identification, whether a deposit can be rejected, or what happens if a barcode expires before it is scanned. The source also does not describe any limits on the number of separate deposits within the monthly and annual caps. Customers should check the Chase app or the bank’s service information for current terms and branch availability.
Check the App Before Depositing
Customers who want to use the service can check for the cash deposit option in the Chase app, confirm the account and amount, then take the generated barcode and cash to a PayPoint location within its 20-minute validity period. The source does not identify a separate launch timetable or announce a planned expansion of the service.
Further details from Chase could clarify branch participation, deposit processing times and how the annual limit is applied. Until then, the confirmed terms reported are a £10 minimum, a £500 monthly maximum, a £6,000 annual cap and no deposit fee.
