New figures released today (15 September) show that 6.42 million cash deposits were made at post offices across the UK in August 2025, by both businesses and personal customers.
This figure was down 5.1% on the previous month (6.76 million, July 2025) but still up 4.5% on the previous year (6.14 million, August 2024).
This trend was mirrored in the total value of deposits across the UK. Business and personal customers deposited a combined total of £2.77 billion in August, which was down 5.7% on the previous month (£2.94 billion, July 2025) but still up 2.7% on last year’s figure (£2.7 billion, August 2024).
Business and personal customers made 7.15 million withdrawals in August, down 4.7% on July’s numbers (7.5 million, July 2025) and down slightly (-1.3%) year-on-year (7.25 million, August 2024).
Both business and personal customers made withdrawals worth £983.21 million in August, a figure which was down 4.4% on the previous month (£1.03 billion, July 2025) but up 5.2% against 2024 numbers (£934.5 million, August 2024).
Together, withdrawals and deposits across UK totalled £3.76 billion in August. This was down compared with July’s record-breaking numbers (£3.97 billion, July 2025) but remains up year-on-year (£3.64 billion, August 2024).
Ross Borkett, Banking Director at Post Office, said: “After a record-breaking July, we have seen a slight dip in the volume and value of deposits and withdrawals in August as many people enjoy a well-earned summer break. Numbers for this August remain strong against 2024 data, a sign that customers and businesses are increasingly choosing post offices as trusted locations to deposit and withdraw their cash.”
