I mentioned this the other month as it happened to me at the Post Office

It's something to do with Mastercard not the Post Office or Banks.  Santander offered the option of banking in the ATM in branch but it appears that has stopped as well so I literally will have to go to the cashier every time now.  I haven't been questioned as of yet but I'm sure I will eventually.

Has anyone else heard about this? Apparently they are going to stop people depositing more than 10k per year and a 2k month minimum. Apparently its to stop organised crime ect but this is going to be super annoying for those who are not close to their bank and need to safely deposit money easily on tour 

Well that's me stuffed then if that's the case. I bank with First Direct and the only way to pay cash in is via the Post Office, unless I convert to a business bank account 

Not all banks are doing this. I bank with an online bank that doesn't have branches and they've said nothing about limits on paying in at the post office (yet!) - nor have Lloyds so far.

As far as I'm aware though, the banks that are introducing this are only putting the limits on accounts held with them - so there's nothing to stop you opening current accounts with 3-4 other banks and spreading your pay-ins across them.

That's a really good idea VC

I don't know but i regularly bank money into my Barclays account with no problems and told i can also use the post office. If it's to do strictly with post office limits then surely you need a high street bank too so you can pay it in banks regulary. I have a few bank accounts so i can go between if i want.

Thank you, that does make sense

It's a pain, I hardly deposit cash but when I do i get asked every time even as little as £400 and i have to tell them how I got it but want to say it's non of your F business lol. Banks should be happy to get the custom but now it's like we should be so lucky to have a bank. I don't earn enough to act like I have a business but it's going to be the case that cash will be frowned upon as a seedy or criminal and will be in the next 10 years rare to use it.

Sorry I know this is not about cash but I'm just so stressed whenever I try and deposit cash in my account just so I can cover my hotels and apartments for work.

This is causing me serious problems, I've been given incorrect information and struggle / cannot find it in the bank T&C. So far a lot of time and effort (including specific journeys/fuel/parking fees) wasted.

Latest info is the cap applies to ALL card deposits eg ATM plus PO and is a total across all current accounts held with same bank. Branch opening times are 9.30am-3pm weekdays, half day Saturday and they shut my local branch years ago. Thank goodness some clients pay bank transfer.

Which bank is that Mirror?
