Daily withdrawal limits

For operational reasons we impose limits on the amounts that can be withdrawn from our savings accounts at branches or agencies. The limits are set out below and are subject to change from time to time.

Where the terms of your account allow immediate access to your funds:

Withdrawals on demand from branches are limited to:

  • Cash - £1,000 on any one day or up to £5,000 by giving a few days’ notice
  • A maximum amount of £5,000 cash in any seven day period
  • Cheques - £150,000 on any one day - higher amounts may take an extra day to process

Withdrawals on demand from Society agencies are limited to:

  • Cash - £500 on any one day
  • A maximum amount of £1,000 cash in any seven day period
  • Cheques - £50,000 (or £10,000 which applies at certain agencies - the agency will advise you which limit applies to them) on any one day  

These limits apply irrespective of the number of accounts you may have with us and whether an account is a sole or a joint account.

Proof of identity may also be required when making withdrawals. You can also withdraw money at branches of the Britannia Building Society. You will need to show proof of identity. The same withdrawal limits apply as with our agencies.
