Resolved Question

What is the minimum a UK cash machine will give out in one transaction?

Just wondering. Asked around and no-one seems to know! What is the minimum? £5? £10? £20?

Someone did say you have the option to say how much you want, as long as it has a 5 or 0 on the end, eg. £35, £90

Thanks in advance, Jamie.

Most cash machines will only give £10 or £20 notes making the minimum withdrawal £10.

Multiples of £5 used to be common but I've not seen it for some years now. Perhaps because of this there seems to be a shortage of £5 notes in the UK. I'm fed up of being told "Sorry, I've got no fivers" as I'm handed a pile of £1 coins. :(

I predict a £5 coin soon.

[edit] Indeed there is a £5 coin but it's a commemorative piece not intended for general circulation. A £5 coin to replace the £5 note isn't far off.

• In most machines the minimum is £10 and then in multiples of 10.
  Some machines (although very few) will start at £20 and then in multiples of 10.
  The most you can take out in one day is either £300 or £350 depending on which bank you use.
  Never in multiples of £5.00.
• Very few cash machines give out £5 notes. I haven't seen one in London in years.
  
  There definitely does seem to be a short supply of £5 notes these days, until a few months ago I used to work in a shop and £5 notes were like gold dust!
• minimum is £10 and i haven't seen any in £5 so i guess they don't do it. just go into the back and draw it out that way you can get your £5
• You can get £5 notes from a few cashpoints. They're mainly in areas where the banks think people will want to take out less money. They're most frequently found near universities or student populations.
• £10
