Pay in cash and cheques with ease
As Unity doesn’t have its own branch network, we’ve partnered with selected organisations to make it easy to pay cash and cheques into your account.
You can pay cash and cheques in to your account at your local Post Office, NatWest (England and Wales), RBS (Scotland) or Ulster Bank (Northern Ireland) branch with a paying-in slip.
