Halifax Coin Bag Limit?

Options
Morning. Does anyone know how many bags of coins you are allowed to pay into the Halifax at one time? Can't find it on their website. Thanks.

    Thanks very much. Might take what I have with me, and just pay in the highest value bags if they limit me.

    Last time I was in a Bank of Scotland branch (so would assume Halifax are the same) I was told the limit is five bags over the counter. However the lady at the counter made an exception because I was also depositing a large amount of notes.
    Anything I post is my opinion, so from time to time I may be wrong. I try to provide answers based in fact, however I don't know everything, so (like all posters on MSE), take what I say with a pinch of salt.

    they have stated to me 5 bags before, but the one local to me is very flexible in this as long as you dont go during busiest periods ie lunch times, or just before closing, i have taken in as many as 10 in one go to halifax.

    Usually 5 but it depends, if you have 6 or 7 they'll probably accept it. I had 12 bags last time but I split it between two branches, 7 at the first then 5 at the one around the corner. Therefore if you have two or more in close vincinity of each other then use this method.
