    I dont recall ever being charged to use a barclays machine when I was with lloyds. I have been known to use barclays machines quite a bit as well as they are student friendly (dispense £5 notes)

    I love the £5 idea, other banks needs to adapt this idea

    If i remember correctly, years ago £5 notes were given as standard from all cash machines, not sure why it was stopped.

    My local Barclays bank only dispenses £5 notes from the machine inside the bank. The hole-in-the-wall outside is minimum £10 notes. Lord knows why :confused:.

    there used to be shortages of £5s i think.the banks stopped them becuase they could load less money in with them
