Change counting machines in banks?

dzug1

They are in larger branches of some of the banks - HSBC and Natwest for certain, probably some others.

They don't charge - but they do require that the money is deposited into your account. They don't change it as such

Royal Bank of Scotland have them aswell in the newer refurbished branches. They are great and you don't have to pay a fee.

No none near me either:( They must be a bit slow working themselves up to the North East:mad:

HSBC in Bracknell have them, what a godsend!! No more waiting to see a huffy cashier who doesn't want my coppers!!!

The counting machines fees are too high. There are ones in Morrisons too, they charge 8%.

There is one fly in the ointment - at some (not all) of the branches where they have these machines they seem to have done away with counter service altogether - they (and similar machines for notes and cheques) are the only way of paying in and ATMs are the only way of getting money out.

I suspect there are 'special arrangements' but they are not obviously on view.
