CARD payments are becoming increasingly popular, but cash in hand is still a handy way to pay.

Thousands of ATM machines operate across the UK which allow people to withdraw cash notes from their bank accounts.

Most withdrawals are from free-to-use machines, but some will charge you.

The limit for contactless card payments has now risen to £100 which has seen a drop off in how much people use ATMs.

Plus, plenty of people are still hesitant about handling notes after coronavirus restrictions discouraged us for health reasons.

But now that the pandemic has passed, many of us may feel comfortable using cash again.

There are many things you need to withdraw notes for – here’s how much you can get from each bank. Plus, we look at how it compares to withdrawing your money over the counter.

Each branch is different and charges will vary between names and locations.

Your account balance is a key factor too, and some banks have higher limits on withdrawals than others.

You can find your nearest cash machine using the Link cash locator and typing in your postcode – it will also tell you if the machine is free to use.
