Post Office banking

Withdraw or pay in cash, and check your balance

The staff at the counter will ask you to put your card into the card reader and enter your PIN to confirm your account details.

• Personal banking – you can pay money into your account using your Barclays debit card and PIN. If you have a savings account with us, you can pay money in using a savings deposit card. You can deposit up to £3K in cash per transaction and up to £10K in cash annually at the Post Office.
• Business banking – you can pay money into your account using your Barclays debit card and PIN, or using a deposit card. You can deposit up to £10K in cash per transaction and have your own individual annual cash deposit limit. For further information, please speak to your Business Banking Team.

Cash paid in using your debit or deposit card will be available the same working day, and you’ll get a full receipt.

Many Post Offices also have cash machines, so you can also withdraw money and check your balance using those. If there are any charges, it’ll say so on screen.

Don’t have a debit card and PIN?

If you don’t have a debit card and PIN for your account, we can still arrange for you to withdraw up to £100 a day at specific Post Offices. Call us on 0800 169 3091¹ or visit one of our branches to find out more.

Exchanging banknotes for coins

If you have a business current account, you can also exchange notes for coins over the counter at a Post Office as part of our Change Lite service.

The key details of our Change Lite service are that

• There’s a maximum limit of £900 per transaction
• You’ll be charged in line with the ‘Notes and Coin exchanged’ fee on your tariff
• There might be some occasions where you can’t get all the coins you need – if this happens often, please contact us and we’ll see if we can help
• You can’t use the service unless you have a deposit card with you – a debit card won’t work
• The deposit card you use needs to be for a current account

Call us¹ on 0800 169 3091 or visit one of our branches to find out more.

Paying in cheques

To pay in cheques, you’ll need a pre-printed paying-in slip and a cheque-deposit envelope.

Fill in the details and hand it to a member of staff at Post Office counter. Cheques can take up to five working days to clear when paid in at a Post Office.

You can order more pre-printed paying-in slips and cheque-deposit envelopes by calling us on 0800 169 3091¹ or visiting a branch.
