Ok, this is going to sound silly, but I know some HSBC branches have these machines that count your change for you and credit your account with the amount and don't take commission.

Thing is my local one doesn't and much googling hasn't brought up a list, any helps? :)
 
If this is true, I'm opening an account purely to empty my penny jar into the machine, withdraw the cash, and close the account. It's a bell's whiskey bottle. Full of pennies.

All that effort for £10? You'd save time just putting it in the machines they have at some supermarkets.
 
Supermarket "Coinstar" and similar machines charge commission.

If only everyone would take the hint of them being there... There was a woman in the local supermarket who paid for shopping with ~£9 in mixed coppers.

Took two staff a while to count it all. With a long queue behind muttering.

:eek:

Should have refused the sale.
 
I put loose coins into the self service tills at supermarkets. I started off with loads, though not as many as a litre.

I'm reluctant to hand a cashier hundreds or thousands of coins, whether in a shop or a bank. Quite happy feeding loads into a glorified vending machine though.
 
I use the coinstar things a lot, normally I end up with a voucher for aound £50 and it's so much easier than "bagging it up". Comes in handy when you a bit low for the month too.
 
nice, I didn't know HSBC had coin machines, I have a few jars full of coppers that being used as doorstops right now...

By looking at the thread title I assumed they were bringing in coin machines for people to withdraw cash from if they were too skint to withdraw a note... :p

Open via quidco and get £10 back as well :P

Sorry, my location is outdated. I have moved back to Windsor/Egham area.
 
I know Barclays in Cardiff has one of these (the branch near KFC), I've used it a few times, it credits the account instantly, no commission.
