New £5 notes
New polymer £5 notes will be circulated from 13 September 2016. CPT advises members to check all cash handling equipment and ensure it can deal with the new notes. It also suggests training staff to ensure they recognise the design and security features of the new notes. The three Scottish banks will also be issuing new polymer notes, starting with Clydesdale Bank on 15 September. Following the launch, polymer £10 and £20 notes will be released in subsequent years.
