£5 Only ATMs

ThemeOne

Does anyone know if all the ATMs which only dispensed £5 notes have been removed?

I don't think they were very numerous, but there was one next to my local station for some years, and I found it very useful. Now it's been replaced by a normal ATM which just gives tens and twenties.

Don't know how accurate it is but you tried The Link website ?

There's a few near me but they are nowhere near you so not economical for you.

According to the Link Website theres 9 maybe 10 in the Croydon area out of 50 atms that dispense £5 notes.

There are some around don't know if there is a reliable way of finding out where they are other than local knowledge.
Are you wanting the new plastic fivers coming out tomorrow?

Natwest and Tesco dispense £5 notes where I live, could try them.

By coincidence my question was answered on Wake Up To Money this morning on Fivelive.

Apparently the machines still exist but only in areas where there's felt to be a demand e.g. among student populations.

There seems to be no way of finding out where there are precisely though, so will just have to keep my eyes peeled.

http://www.link.co.uk/atm-locator/ lists them with a £5 marker. Don't know how up to date it is though.

I live in a university city and because of the high student population there are quite a few machines that dispense £5.00 notes.

The Natwest in our town does £5 notes out the machine. There used to be a machine in Liverpool that only gave out fivers but I think it's since been replaced!

This. When I toured the country looking at Universities with my Daughter this year I found all of them had £5 dispensing cashpoints.

I've never heard of an ATM that only dispenses £5 notes in modern times, we certainly didn't have any at the banking group that I worked for (although that was before somebody decided there should be more £5 notes in circulation rather than taking the more sensible decision to drop 1p, 2p and 5p coins and replace the £5 note with a £5 coin).

The new plastic £5 comes out today and until the ATMs are modified none of them will give out the new notes.
