Bank Coin Counting Machines

Fingerbobs

Does anyone know if there are any banks that still have coin counting machines for paying small change into your account, and indeed if these are still free to use? I believe HSBC and Barclays used to have them at a handful of their branches, but I haven't seen any for years.

The ones in Supermarkets charge silly percentages!

Thanks.

I think there's one at my NatWest branch. It also takes notes and cheques but I presume you could just pay in coins on their own.

I think it might help you tell us which area you are based and which bank you are refering too.

This will help other posters provide you with the information you require.

There're are lists elsewhere on this forum of branches with them. I don't think any of the ex-building socs have them nor Lloyds TSB, but most of the other banks have them. They tend to be in their largest branches.

My branch of Barclays definitely has one (Leicester city centre) but no idea where else has them..

They are spreading but are by no means universal even in the banks that have them

They seem to be in the largest branches that have recently been refurbished.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone!

Sounds like they are still around, but far from commonplace.

As someone pointed out in another thread somewhere, they probably deliberately don't publicise this facility too widely or they'll start being overwhelmed with change :-)
