Join free scheme to beat banknote fraud
The Bank of England has a range of advice and resources to help retailers guard against counterfeit currency.
Its free Banknote Checking Scheme helps to protect businesses with free training materials on how to check banknotes, and keeps them up-to-date on the latest banknote news.
The run-up to Christmas can be a time when businesses are at greater risk of being targeted with counterfeit banknotes, due to an increase of cash use, the hiring of new staff and stores being busier. The Scheme enables businesses to:
Reduce the financial loss and reputational risks caused by counterfeit banknotes. Get the latest information about banknotes, and to share their experiences. Support their communities by preventing the spread of counterfeits and associated crimes.
