Update machines to accept the King Charles III notes
If your business uses, or is responsible, for any machines that accept, sort or check banknotes, you need to plan for their adaptation to work with the new note designs.
We ask that all businesses (retailers, train and car park operators, financial institutions, ATM operators etc) complete relevant machine updates by the end of March 2024 at the latest.
Machines requiring updates include those receiving notes, such as transport ticketing machines, self-service checkouts, gaming machines, vending machines, back-office machines and any other machines that are used to check notes are genuine.
For dispensing machines, we anticipate that cassettes can contain a mixture of both note designs in the same cassette.
In preparation, banknote equipment manufacturers are beginning to release updates for industry to install in machines now. Please check with your manufacturers directly on their individual timelines.
If you have any questions about updating machines, you can email us at: [email protected].
We expect to issue banknotes featuring the King’s portrait by mid-2024. Find out about our new King Charles III banknotes.
