cashier withdrawals

wishface

Anyone know where i can find the minimum counter withdrawal amounts for the banks, specifically Lloyds TSB, Natwest and the HSBC. Google isn't helping, thanks.

Natwest you could withdraw 1p if you wanted, imagine the others will be the same but not sure.

HSBC also has no minimum

Is there any particular reason why you want to know this?

If you find your bank has restrictions which are inconvenient for you, check out whether you can use the Post Office for counter transactions. There's a list here: http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/content1?catId=19400181&mediaId=19700174

Good point.

Note that there will still be restrictions on the minimum withdrawal you can make and that varies with the bank - 1p or £1 with most. There may be the odd one that's a fiver - can't remember. It doesn't have to be whole ££ - you can take out £8.36 if you want.

Not on current accounts, unless you count 1p as a minimum.

Some Halifax branches have signs up saying for less than £300 you must use the ATM

That's if you have a basic banking, Cardcash or Expresscash account.

HSBC - whilst I'm not aware of any minimum withdrawal, you MUST have your cheque book to be able to withdraw money over the counter. First Direct customers don't necessarily need to have their chequebook with them, as they can get the call centre to send a message to the branch; you will need to show ID at the counter if you do the latter.

Lloyds - no limit either afaik, you can rock up to the counter with a withdrawal slip. Presumably ID will be needed if you're withdrawing a large amount.
