Halifax bank customers are reminded of a £2,995 cash deposit limit when using self-service ATM-style terminals at branches. The restriction applies to all 341 Halifax branches across the UK, as confirmed by the bank.
Customers wishing to deposit larger sums must visit a branch counter, where staff can handle higher amounts. The automated machines are designed to speed up transactions and reduce queues, but they cannot accept deposits exceeding the £2,995 cap.
For cheque deposits, Halifax allows up to £10,000 per day via its mobile app. Larger amounts or deposits without app access can be made at a Post Office or Halifax branch, where higher limits may apply.
Banking Hubs, shared spaces run by the Post Office and owned by Cash Access UK, offer an alternative for customers without nearby branches. Some hubs also host a Halifax Community Banker on specific weekdays.
The limits are part of anti-money laundering regulations and fraud prevention measures. A Halifax spokesperson advised customers to stay vigilant: “When using your phone, be aware that criminals may stand close behind you to get your passwords. Always keep your phone and card in a safe place and don’t share devices.”
