    It's never too late for bank notes, if you discovered a 1759 £10 note down the sofa the BoE would happily exchange it for a current note...

    Even better, the Post Office told us it will accept deposits of old £5 notes after 5 May, from customers and non-customers. This is due to an agreement the Post Office has with all major UK banks which allows free day-to-day banking services at all of their branches. So if for example you've a Barclays account, you can use your local post office branch to deposit old £5 notes into that account.

    The Post Office has informed me that they do not accept old £5 notes to be paid into UK bank accounts unless the customer purchases an item at the post office. This conflicts with what is stated in the article.

    Do you mean that the corporate entity has declared and published a new universal policy or that a grumpy employee in your local branch wasn't cooperative?!
