£5 notes in cash machines?

Wow, thanks for all the answers. (I'd forgotten about this thread!)

We've just had a new Tesco opened near to my mum so I will look to see if their cashpoints dispense fivers, no-one else in South-East London seems to. :mad:

Natwest and RBS ATMs now dispense £5.00 notes.

If the option is not displayed on the main screen press other and key the amount of £5.00.

The HSBC one near me gives out fivers - I love it!

Went to my local Tesco cash machine yesterday and drew out......a fiver!

Being able to get a fiver a time will help me a lot, what with being skint, in debt et cetera.

Tired.

well to update
I saw a ATM advertising £5 dispensing at the Sainsburys up from the Grassmarket in Edinburgh the other day

About 10 years ago the bank opposite Leeds Uni dispensed £5 notes, think it was Barclays IIRC?

Post Office near me in Leeds dispenses £5 notes now, newly introduced a few months ago I think.

A poster in a thread in the "Budgeting and bank accounts" board said that certain cashpoints are now dispensing £5 notes once again. I keep reading this story every few years in the newspapers but I have never actually seen a fiver dispensed from a cash machine since around 1990.

Has anyone ever got a £5 note from a cash machine in London? Can you ask for £5 or is the minimum withdrawal still £10? (It's bad enough when you can't get less than twenty quid because the machine has "run out" of tenners :mad:)

I managed to get one from a Natwest machine a few times (in London).

Loads of them in Leeds City Centre have started dispensing fivers, I remember the Barclays opposite the uni always has but there's three or four more I've seen recently.

Looking through this thread it seems to be a predominantly Yorkshire thing... coincidence!?

I got £5 notes from a machine in Stevenage Old Town in the '90's- think it was Natwest (or perhaps Nationwide)- was at the bottom of the High Street, but it would not let me withdraw one at a time, only 2 at a time at the least! Was quite cool if you happened to need change for say a birthday collection (£5 was quite generous in 1996-7!)
