anyone know how much you can take out of a barclays account without having to give them prior notice? (as in if you were to walk in off the street and take money out for your account)

Thinking of a one man protest?

Phone your branch and find out?

its only a few hundred quid with HSBC, and anything mor eyou have to write a cheque to yourself!!!!!

I don't, but when I've gone in to give notice of taking out a large sum the following day they've always told me that I can take it that day.

I'm not talking about tens-of-thousands but not hundreds either.

It depends on the branch, the biggest ones will pretty much give you what you want, the smaller ones may limit to as little as £500 without notice.

It all depends how much cash they keep on the premises.

I took out £5000 for a bike a couple of years ago but they wern't very happy about it, 90% of it had to be in £5 notes too so I had to walk up the street with 2 bags with CASH marked on them with a breeze block of cash in each - heightens your senses a bit!

I had taken a similar amount a few months before and rang first, they told me on the phone that I shouldn't have bothered ringing first hence why I didn't the second time.. pretty sure I was misinformed :

I have managed to get a couple of grand same day before from barclays

Went into the Gnatwest last week, no prior notice and withdrew £3500 in cash from the
cashier desk.
Just used the debit card and pin, no other ID requested

Exactly how much is a fuel tank

Halifax have a limit of £1200. Plus £300 from cashpoint.

For more you have to arrange.

Beware that it is now in contravention of (I think) the money laundering regs to be wandering about with £10k or more in cash
(Just one of NuLabor's 4000 or so new crimes)

I did this recently my home town branch was not big enough to hold large sums so I had to go to a bigger branch in a near by town. One tip is to leave it later in the day as businesses will have paid in takings from the day.
