    Zax47, your response is a bit OTT. My local HSBC has had cash counting machines for well over 3 years now, the benefit being that the money is credited directly to your account rather than having to wait 2-3 days for it to be taken out of an envelope, counted and deposited by cashiers.

    Do people still walk in front of cars, waving flags, where you come from? :rotfl:

    I find your story interesting, but for the fact that you don't "lodge" (or even DEPOSIT) individual notes in such machines, but put them ALL TOGETHER into a deposit envelope along with your deposit/paying-in slip and put it in the slot when directed to.

    For heavens sake!!!! Phone the branch and prove to yourself that you are the Bull shitt@r 17 The Diamond Londonderry, County Londonderry BT48 6HW - 0845 765 4321 (it was the former A&L)

    The machine does not take envelopes....period. No discussion.

    Incidentally, what do you normally do with your life?

    Jeez!!!

    The manager has since phoned back and the money was found in the machine.

    The entire response was frankly not urgent enough nor was I given an apology.!!!!poor service.
  • No machine counts my dosh, the teller has to whet hir fingers at least twice to take it, never mind count it
