In a bid to get more £5 notes in circulation, HSBC are stocking hundreds of their ATMs with the notes. The trial is taking place in the Midlands and South West of England to begin with, but may be extended if it is successful.
It is estimated that £5 notes have a lifespan of around one year due to their popularity, the Bank of England is very keen to get more of these in to peoples pockets.
