Post Offices: Cash Dispensing

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many Post Office branches provide automatic telling machines for customers.

Answer

The Post Office provides a network of around 2,500 free to use ATMs in its branches. Also, through an agreement with all major banks, cash withdrawal and deposit banking services are available over the counter in every one of its 11,600 branches. This means that over 99 per cent of UK personal bank customers and over 95 per cent of SME customers can do their day-to-day banking at the post office.
