Members of the company are able to provide cheque books and other services to their customers at a lower cost than other banks, which have to arrange for a clearing bank to handle cheques for them. Some UK clearing banks include Barclays Bank, Lloyds, HSBC, the Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest. The system also processes banker's orders.
