You can pay cash into your account simply with your Metro Bank debit card. If you dont have a debit card already, please remember this can take up to 5 working days to arrive in the post.
To pay in cash with your paying in book simply take along a completed, barcoded slip from your barcoded paying in book which can take up to 5 working days to arrive in the post. The Post Office will then stamp your slip for your records.
To pay in cheques you’ll need a Metro Bank cheque envelope which will be sent to you via post and can take up to 5 working days to arrive. You'll need to include a paying slip with the cheques, you can find the instructions on how to use this on the back of the cheque envelope. You can place multiple cheques in each envelope – simply remember to seal it closed.
To exchange notes for coins you’ll need your unique Metro Bank change giving card which you'll receive in the post within 5 working days.
You’ll also need to contact the Post Office branch and order your change at least 24 hours before collecting it.
Each service will be subject to a set-up fee of £20 per account.

Cash paid in, via debit card, through the Post Office will be added to your Metro Bank account in real time. Cash paid in, via a barcoded paying-in slip, through the Post Office® will be added to your Metro Bank account one working day after paying it in (subject to individual Post Office cut off times)
When cheques are paid in at a Post Office the timescales may differ from those you would normally expect, using a Post Office branch typically adds one working day. The cheques will follow the normal cheque clearing cycle once we have received them from the Post Office - 5 working days.
You cannot withdraw cash from your Metro Bank account via the Post Office Service.
