The £62m dispensed on last Friday before Christmas beat £51m record set in 2022 to reflect sharp annual rise in inflation
More than £62m in cash was withdrawn from Post Office branches on the Friday before Christmas, the most ever in a single day, as people rushed to finish their festive shopping.
The record withdrawals on 22 December from the 11,500 Post Office branches across the UK beat the previous record of just over £51m, set on the final Friday before Christmas last year.
