The move means you could combine your weekly shop with banking, avoiding the need to find a branch or queue at the post office.

This is scanned in-store, before you hand over your notes and coins. You can deposit up to £300 per day, with a maximum of £600 a month. Once scanned and accepted, Lloyds says the money should appear in your account within minutes. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Why is Lloyds doing this? Bank branches have been closing rapidly in recent years, and while Lloyds says customers can still use its own branches and over 11,500 post offices for deposits, the PayPoint tie-up adds thousands of extra locations, particularly in areas where bank branches are scarce. Gabby Collins, payments director at Lloyds, said the new feature is 'ideal if you are popping in for milk or dropping off a parcel', while Nick Wiles, chief executive of PayPoint, described it as another example of their stores offering 'essential services at the heart of communities'.
