A record £801 million in cash withdrawals took place at Post Office branches across the UK in December 2021 indicating that more people are now aware of the free day-to-day banking services available over the counter at branches and in-store kiosks.
The total amount withdrawn from the 11,500 branches across the nation was up by 7.8 per cent compared with November, when the figure stood at £743 million.
The Post Office said the record total coincided with the start of a partnership with food bank charity the Trussell Trust, whereby 1p from every cash withdrawal is donated to the good cause - the initiative hopes to raise £250,000 by the end of February, 2022.
