All paper £5 and £10 notes will be withdrawn from circulation on March 1. Issuing banks will continue to accept all Scottish notes from their own customers after this date. These can be either deposited into their bank account or exchanged for polymer notes.
Royal Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale and Bank of Scotland have also agreed that they will exchange their own paper £5 and £10 notes from non-customers up to the value of £250. Other banks, building societies and The Post Office may continue to accept and exchange Scottish paper notes after March 1.
The withdrawal of Scottish paper notes coincides with the withdrawal of Bank of England £10 paper notes from circulation.
