About Us

The Cheque and Credit Clearing Company is a non-profit making, membership-based industry body, which has managed the cheque clearing system in England and Wales since 1985, and in all of Great Britain since 1996 when it took over responsibility for managing the Scottish cheque clearing as well.

As well as clearing cheques, the system processes the following forms of payment: Bankers’ drafts, Building society cheques, Postal orders, Warrants, Government payable orders and Travellers’ Cheques.

The C&CCC also manages the systems for the clearing of paper bank giro credits (the credit clearing) and euro cheques (the euro clearing).
