A sheet handling apparatus is proposed to be able to stably shift a position of a sheet. A sheet handling apparatus comprises: conveyance device for conveying a sheet; shift device, rotating in a direction inclined relative to a direction of conveyance of the sheet, for coming into contact with the sheet to shift a position of the sheet in a widthwise direction of conveyance; and shift presence and absence switching device for switching between a shift execution state, in which shift of the sheet is executed by the shift device, and a shift non-execution state, in which the shift is not executed by the shift device; wherein at least a part of that contact portion of the shift device, which comes into contact with a surface of the sheet, is positioned at a side of a shift direction relative to the conveyance device, which has a conveyance force during shift, and a frictional force of the shift device on the sheet at the time of execution of shift is set to be larger than that of the conveyance device on the sheet.
