Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Post Office Change Giving service?
Change Giving allows business customers of participating banks to exchange notes for coins at Post Office counters – perfect for preparing till change for shops, cafés, takeaways, market traders and other local businesses.
How exactly do I get coins - is it a straight swap of notes for coins?
Not quite a straight swap. Coins are provided either using a Change Giving card issued by your bank, or by withdrawing cash from your business account at the counter, and we then give you coins subject to availability. If your bank does not offer a Change Giving card, please bring your business debit card and PIN. Availability of specific denominations can vary daily.
Do all banks offer Change Giving at the Post Office?
No. Change Giving depends on whether your bank supports the service. See the participating banks table above. Some banks also require advance registration.
Do I need to register for Change Giving?
Some banks require advance registration. Please check with your bank before visiting. If you need change regularly, registration may be required to guarantee the service.
Can I get change without a business account?
Change Giving is typically only available for business customers. Please check with your bank if you are a personal customer – some banks may not offer the service for personal accounts.
Do I need to order change in advance?
For standard small change requests, you can usually visit without notice. For larger amounts, we recommend calling at least 24 hours in advance to ensure availability.
What do I need to bring to get change?
Bring your business debit card and PIN, or a personalised paying-in slip as required by your bank. Some banks may also require a Change Giving card.
Are there limits on how much change I can get?
Yes – limits vary by bank and branch discretion. Please check with your bank or call us before visiting if you need a larger amount.
Do I need an appointment to get change?
No, you can visit any time during our opening hours. No appointment is required for standard change requests.
Where can I get coins for my business in Rochdale?

What are your Sunday opening hours for Change Giving?
We are open Sundays from 009:30–16:00 for all counter services including Change Giving.
Can I choose specific coin denominations?
Yes, subject to availability. Please tell our counter staff which denominations you require. For larger or specialist requests, we recommend calling ahead before visiting.
Can I get same-day change for my shop or takeaway?
In many cases yes, depending on coin availability and your bank supporting Change Giving. Larger requests may require advance notice.

Yes. Gale Street Post Office offers Change Giving during normal Sunday counter hours from 009:30–16:00, subject to coin availability.
Can cafés, taxis and market traders use Change Giving?
Yes. Change Giving is commonly used by cafés, takeaways, taxi drivers, market traders, convenience stores and other local businesses that need regular till change.
Can I get £1 and £2 coin bags?
Yes, subject to availability. Standard coin bag values are listed above on this page. Please call ahead if you require larger quantities.
Do you charge a fee for Change Giving?
Charges, if any, depend on your bank's business banking agreement. Gale Street Post Office does not independently set banking fees for Change Giving services.
Can I use Change Giving if I bank online?
Some online-only banks do not currently support Change Giving through the Post Office. Please check the participating banks table or contact your bank directly.
What time is best to visit for Change Giving?
Mornings and early afternoons are usually quieter. Late afternoons, weekends and holiday periods can be busier, especially for larger change requests.
Can I exchange coins for notes instead of notes for coins?
Change Giving is designed for exchanging notes for coins to give your business till change. Exchanging coins back into notes is a separate service that depends on your bank and branch discretion, so please check with us or your bank before visiting.
Can I get change on a bank holiday?
Our opening hours can differ on bank holidays, and coin availability may be more limited. Please call us on 01706 725399 to confirm we are open and have the coins you need before making a journey.
Can I get a mix of different coin denominations?
Yes, subject to availability. Tell our counter staff the mix of denominations you need - for example a combination of £1, 50p and 20p bags. For larger or specific mixes, please call ahead so we can prepare.
Can I order change by phone for collection?
For larger or specific orders we recommend calling us on 01706 725399 at least 24 hours ahead so we can check availability. The exchange itself is completed in person at the counter with your business card or paying-in slip.
Can I get change before my shop opens in the morning?
We open at 9:30am Monday to Sunday, so you can collect change at the start of the day before busier trading periods. Mornings are usually our quietest time, so it is often the fastest time to visit.
Can I get change for a charity collection?
Change Giving is intended for business customers of participating banks. If you are collecting for a charity, the service depends on the type of account the charity holds and whether that bank participates. Please check with the charity's bank before visiting.
Can I use Change Giving every day?
Yes, you can use the service during our normal opening hours, subject to your bank's terms and daily coin availability. If you need change every day in larger amounts, it is worth calling ahead so we can plan stock.
What happens if a coin denomination is unavailable?
Coin stock varies day to day. If a specific denomination is low or unavailable when you visit, we will let you know and offer what we can. For specific or larger requirements, please call us on 01706 725399 before travelling.
Can I still get change if my local bank branch has closed?
Yes - that is one of the main reasons businesses use Change Giving. As long as your bank participates in Post Office Everyday Banking, you can get coins here even if your nearest bank branch has closed.
