    Anyone know if there is a coinstar in one of their Cardiff branches?

    went through a lot of pain to find out that the churchill way branch has 1 of these machines.

    let me know how it goes 'cos i'll have to make a special trip in one day with my large bottle of coins.

    Does anyone know if these machines credit your account instantly with the amount deposited? I used one this morning, got a receipt, but the deposit is not showing on my account. Rang the call centre and got a hopeless response - the Indian advisor couldn't understand I was talking about the coin machines, rather than traditional deposit machines with am envelope. Grrr. I'm glad I don't bank with HSBC for my real current account!

    I've found they credit on the same day (not always instantly) on a weekday. Never used one on Saturday but deposits made on Sunday show Monday morning (yes, my local branch opens on Sunday :eek:!).

    i used the one in churchill way, cardiff today for the 1st time. took 2 trips in the end dumping £180 of coins. i managed to fill up one of their coin tubs too...oops.

    i too got receipts and am still waiting for the deposits to appear on my statements(1hr later) so will wait a bit more.

    one tip - don't put too many coins at a time. i soon learnt that. if the coin tubs in the guts of the machine gets filled it rejects all of the other coins so you have to start again once it gets emptied(10mins?).

    I just wanted to bump this to see if anyone knew if HSBC have yet produced a list of where these machines are.

    Or if anyone knows if any of the following branches have such a machine :

    Redditch
    Droitwich
    Bromsgrove
    Merry Hill

    These are the easiest for me to use.

    Thankyou


    Pretty sure Bromsgrove does, not sure on the others.

    Money is credited same day and you don't look like a stingy miser for depositing 87p in coppers!

    How quickly the same day?

    I deposited 2 £1 coins at half 4 this afternoon, as of now (10 to 6) the £2 has not been credited, although the two £5 notes I deposited into the note machine have appeared in my transactions in internet banking.
