As an independent retailer, it's essential that your staff are trained to spot a counterfeit note

The Bank of England has made many efforts to ensure counterfeit notes don't enter the public such as:

  • Issuing new polymer notes
  • Providing an education programme for businesses and the public
  • Working closely with law enforcement agencies

Yet, our members are still receiving counterfeit money and are unsure of how to determine if the money is fraudulent. 

The Bank of England has free online training, including a test you can take after you've all of your training. We recommend encouraging all of your staff to undertake this training to ensure maximum security when dealing with money.
