For your security as well as Tesco’s, there are some limits on how much you can order and collect.

You can order between £50 to £2,500 online.

Tesco will email you an order confirmation, and will confirm your exact delivery date. The table below shows the earliest time your money can be delivered.

Tesco Travel Money uses the same delivery service as Travelex, so they know what they’re doing. If, however, there is a problem with your order you can contact Tesco directly and they will deal with your issue.

When you spend £500 or more online, home delivery is free.

For online orders less than £500, you pay £3.95 for delivery.

In-app travel money allows our customers to easily buy before they fly!

We’ve worked hard to provide customers with a different kind of banking experience – one which is much less like traditional banking and much more like the service that customers have come to love and expect from Tesco stores.

Speaking to customers and finding out what really matters to them is so important to us and through these discussions, it’s clear that for Tesco shoppers, their time is precious.

At Tesco Bank, we’ve seen first-hand our customers' desire for ease and convenience, as evidenced by the growing number of customers opting to use our digital services. This is why we have decided to trial a new digital feature, enabling Android customers to purchase travel money directly through our Mobile Banking App.

We hope this feature will help customers in the lead up to the busy holiday period by offering a quick, convenient and simple way to check our current exchange rates and to purchase travel money. 

So, if you have a holiday coming up, why not give it a go? It’s really quick and easy to access – just follow the steps below. If you use this feature, we’d love to hear your feedback, so please do join the discussions on   Your Community.

Our Mobile Banking App offers all that you would expect from a banking app, as well as a number of innovative features to help our customers manage their finances quickly and easily. This includes:

• Quick and secure access to the app using either Face ID, Touch ID or Fingerprint, 5-digit passcode or existing online banking login details.
• Easy set up and management of credit card repayments by direct debit or debit card.
• An overdraft alert feature to help current account customers avoid account fees.
• Block / unblock feature which helps our credit card customers keep their account safe.
• Card scanning for credit card payments which enables customers to quickly add new card details using their camera.

How do customers access this new feature? To access this feature, Android customers simply need to log into the mobile app and swipe through the on-screen carousel until they reach the ‘Travel Money’ option. From there, the customers can check the rates by clicking on the fly out menu. From there they simply need to follow the on-screen instructions. Once the order has been processed, the customer will receive a confirmation email.

How quickly can I collect my currency?

If your online order is confirmed before 2pm, then you can collect Euro and Dollar the next calendar day from our bureaux, or any currency the next working day from our Travel Money Customer Service Desks.

What’s the difference between a Travel Money bureau and a Customer Service Desk Collection point?

A Travel Money bureau is a manned booth that sits inside a Tesco store where you will be served by a Tesco Travel Money adviser.  We also have selected stores where you can conveniently collect travel money from the Customer Service Desk which is at the front of the store and is manned by Customer Service Desk store colleagues.

What can I do with any currency left over after my trip?

We buy back all the currencies we sell, in most bank note values.  We do this at our in store bureau, but not at the Customer Service Desks.

If a customer places an order in this way, what do they need to show colleagues when they collect their order? You’ll need to bring valid photo ID e.g. passport, full UK photographic driving licence (we do not accept provisional driving licences) or EU ID card and the payment card you used for this order. If collecting from one of our in-store bureau, you will also be required to verify the PIN. The name on the card and the other identification must match the name of the person collecting the order.

Tesco Travel Money ordered online is provided by Travelex  Currency Services Limited .

Our Independent Review of Tesco Bank Travel Money

Tesco Bank Travel Money is a currency exchange provider that offers foreign currency services. As part of the largest supermarket chain in the U.K., Tesco Bank is very widely available with over 360 in-store money exchange locations and pre-order money collection from over 550 Tesco stores. They have minimum order amounts of £50 and maximum order amounts of £2,500. You can exchange money for more than 120 currencies. 

Tesco travel money is provided through a partnership with Travelex .

Tesco Bank Click and Collect for Foreign Currency

You can choose to order foreign currency online through your Tesco bank account. You can then have the money delivered directly to your home address or to a Tesco store. If you order euros or U.S. dollars before 2 PM, you can pick them up the next day from most Tesco Travel Money locations.  Other currencies can take up to five days. You can also order any currency for the next weekday delivery to most Tesco customer service desks.

You can choose a collection date for picking up your money and you’ll need to bring a valid photo ID—either a passport, or a full UK photographic driving license. You’ll also need to bring the card that you used to place the order. 

Tesco Bank Currency Exchange at Local Bureaux de Change

Tesco Bank also provides immediate money exchange at  360 in-store locations across the U.K. Many of these locations are open seven days a week with same-day collections on many popular currencies. 

Tesco Bank Home Delivery for Travel Money

If you order foreign currency before 2 PM from Monday to Thursday, you can get next day home delivery to most homes in the U.K. Orders of £500 or more and there’s a £3.95 delivery charge for orders under that amount. You will need to have someone available to sign for the delivery. 

Tesco Bank Prepaid Currency Card

Tesco Bank offers a “Cash Passport” travel card. You can load up to seven currencies on the card including euros, U.S. dollars, U.K. pounds, South African rands, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars and New Zealand dollars. Tesco Bank does not charge a commission on foreign purchases, although there is a 2% fee if you use the card in the U.K. The travel money card is only available at a Tesco Bank location. 

Tesco Bank International Money Transfer

Tesco Bank allows you to send money to an international account so you can make a payment or deposit money with family or friends. Tesco Bank has a partnership with MoneyGram . This means you can send money to over 200 countries around the world. MoneyGram can’t be used for business transactions. 

You can send money through the MoneyGram app or by paying with a debit card or cash at a Tesco Bank location. Beneficiaries can get money deposited into their bank account, transferred to a mobile wallet or they can pick it up in cash at a MoneyGram agent location. Money transfers can take anything from a few minutes to a couple of working days. 

You can also collect 50 Tesco Clubcard points every time you send £50 or more.

No Card Fees Charged by Tesco Bank

Whether you buy online or in-store, Tesco Bank does not charge any card processing fees, although you may be charged by your card provider.

Tesco Bank Price Guarantee

Tesco Bank provides a price match guarantee on local bureau de change orders. This does not apply to online orders. Here’s what Tesco Bank says about its price guarantee:

“If you find a better exchange rate advertised by another provider within three miles of your chosen Tesco Travel Money Bureau, on the same day, we'll match it.

Price Match only applies in store on a like-for-like basis on sell transactions and does not apply to any exchange rate advertised online or by phone. This is not available in conjunction with any other offer. We reserve the right to verify the rate you have found and the three-mile distance (using an appropriate route planning tool).”

Tesco Travel Money Fees & Exchange Rates

In most cases, Tesco Bank makes its money on the difference between the “base,” interbank* exchange rate and the exchange rate that they charge to you. However, some services such as international money transfers do incur additional fees. 

*The interbank rate is also known as the mid-market or standard exchange rate, which is the midpoint between the buying and the selling prices of the two currencies.

Click and Collect Fees

There is no additional fee for Click and Collect orders, although if you cancel a Click and Collect order less than 24 hours before your collection date you will be charged a £10 late cancellation fee.

Tesco Bank Travel Money Money Card Fees

• Tesco Bank does not charge a commission on foreign purchases, although there is a 2% fee if you use the card in the U.K.
• There is a fee for ATM withdrawals as follows: GB £1.50, EU €1.75, US $2.30, AU $2.30, CA $2.40, NZ $3.00, ZA R20. Some cash machine operators charge an extra fee
• There may be other fees associated with the travel money card, you can get details of these fees from a Tesco Bank location

Tesco Bank Travel Money Money Card Limits

Tesco Bank locations will have details on any limits applicable to your travel money card. 

Overseas Money Transfer Fees

Tesco Bank has a partnership with MoneyGram and they do charge a fee for sending money directly to some countries. Typically, the fee charged by MoneyGram is £3.99.

About Fees Levied by Banks

Certain fees may be levied by banks when you are transferring money to another account. These fees are outside the control of Tesco Bank Travel Money. Circumstances, where banks may charge additional fees, include:

• Wire transfers into or out of sender or beneficiary accounts
• Transfers that are sent via SWIFT or certain other banking protocols
• Beneficiary banks charge a fee to receive a transfer
• Intermediary banks charge fees to process money in transit

These fees could mean that the beneficiary receives less money than stated by Tesco Bank Travel Money due to circumstances beyond Tesco Bank Travel Money’s control. If you want to understand what these extra fees are likely to be, please contact your bank and the beneficiary's bank.

Tesco Bank Travel Money Exchange Rates for Online Travel Money

Tesco does offer better exchange rates the more you order. You can start to access these better exchange rates when you buy £800 or more of foreign currency.

Tesco Bank Travel Money makes most of its money on the difference between the exchange rate they offer to customers and the base exchange rate. For example, the base rate to convert U.K pounds into euros is 1.146 euros per pound. Tesco Bank Travel Money offers an exchange rate of 1.125 euros per pound, a difference of 2%. That means if you’re exchanging 1,000 pounds into euros, you’ll pay an exchange rate fee of around £20.

Here are some other examples:

Exchanging 1,000 U.K. Pounds Into Australian Dollars

• Base exchange rate, 1,000 GBP converts to 1,862 AUD
• Tesco Bank Travel Money online exchange rate, 1,000 GBP converts to 1,819 AUD
• The Tesco Bank Travel Money exchange rate is 2.3% more expensive, or around 23 GBP in exchange rate fees

• Base exchange rate, 1,000 GBP converts to 1,265 USD
• Tesco Bank Travel Money exchange rate, 1,000 GBP converts to 1,244 USD
• The Tesco Bank Travel Money exchange rate is 1.7% more expensive, or around 17 GBP in exchange rate fees

If you’re purchasing currency online or you want to transfer money to an overseas account, you can get much better deals by comparing specialist currency exchange providers . Several money exchange services have overall fees of 1% or lower, even when taking into account differences in exchange rates. 

All of the Tesco Bank Travel Money exchange rates quoted in this section are based on their online rates for converting money for home delivery or store pickup.

How Easy Is It To Send Money With Tesco Travel Money

Tesco Bank Travel Money services provide convenient local and online currency exchange and money transfer services, combined with an international travel card.

Credibility Security

Tesco is a very well known, trusted brand. Here’s what they say on their website. 

“Tesco Travel Money ordered in-store is provided by Travelex Agency Services Limited. Registered No. 04621879. Tesco Travel Money ordered online or by telephone is provided by Travelex Currency Services Limited. Registered No. 03797356. Registered Office for both companies: 4th floor, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9AG.

Mastercard is a registered trademark, and the circles design is a trademark of Mastercard International Incorporated. Issued by Wirecard Card Solutions Limited. Registered Office: 3rd Floor, Grainger Chambers, 3-5 Hood Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 6JQ. Registered in England No. 07875693. Authorised and regulated in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority to issue e-money (Firm Reference Number: 900051).”

Customer Satisfaction

Tesco Bank Money scored very poorly for customer satisfaction on Trustpilot, achieving a score of just 1.4 out of 5 across more than 600 reviews. Around 11% of reviews said that they were “excellent” or “great” compared to 88% of reviews that said they were “poor” or “bad.” Note that these reviews were across Tesco Bank Money as a whole, not just for travel money or currency or online overseas transfers. 

We could not find any positive reviews for Tesco Bank’s travel money service. 

There were numerous negative reviews including problems with discrepancies in the amount of foreign currency received, complaints about customer service and issues of the late arrival of travel money. A typical review was, “Ordered travel money from Tesco. When counting the travel money, a significant amount was missing coming to the approximate value of £35. Tesco investigated and found no discrepancies. So I am £35 out of pocket due to their incompetence. Do not order travel money off Tesco.”

How Tesco Bank Travel Money works

If you want to pick up travel money in person, the individual who ordered the travel money must collect it. You will need to have an order reference number and the card you used to pay for your order. You will also need to know your card's PIN to verify your order. You should also have a valid photo ID like a passport, full photographic driving license or an EU ID card. 

Here’s what you’ll need to make a money transfer with MoneyGram.

• If you have a MoneyGram account you can log in, otherwise, you will need to create a new account
• Decide how much you’d like to send and where you want to send it to
• Enter all the required information about the beneficiary, this might include their name, address, bank account details, and other personal data
• Tell MoneyGram how the beneficiary wants to get their money—through a bank transfer, cash pickup, or via some other means
• Agree to the MoneyGram exchange rate and any fees
• Pay for your transfer
• Enter your information to verify your identity

The euro rate at Tesco Bank right now is 1.1612. You'll need to buy or reserve your euros online to guarantee this rate; the euro rate offered in your local store may be lower if you don't order online beforehand.

Yes, if you're a Tesco Clubcard holder you'll get Clubcard Prices on your travel money which means the exchange rate will be better than the standard rate advertised in-store. You can also use your Clubcard when you buy or reserve your currency online; just enter your Clubcard number when you place your order and the enhanced Clubcard exchange rate will be applied to your order automatically.

Tesco's exchange rates tend to be slightly above average in terms of competitiveness, and their currency deals are comparable to other major UK supermarkets including Sainsbury's , and ASDA . Many customers who buy their travel money with Tesco do so because of Tesco's brand name and convenient locations, rather than how competitive their exchange rates are. That being said, Tesco offer tiered exchange rates on some currencies which improve with increasing order amount (the more you order, the better the rate), and Clubcard holders can get enhanced rates that are better than Tesco's standard rates which can make their currency deals more attractive compared to other supermarkets.

However, if you want the absolute best exchange rate on the market, better currency deals are usually available from other suppliers, especially if you order online. Check out our travel money comparisons to find the best currency deals available right now.

Tesco Bank Travel Money – How Does It Work?

Planning your dream vacation? Alongside your flight bookings and luggage preparations, it’s essential to ensure your travel money arrangements are in order.

If you prefer having cash in hand while abroad, one convenient option for acquiring foreign currency is through Tesco Bank Travel Money. But what exactly is it, and how does it work? Let’s delve into the details, covering the process of ordering, collection and delivery options, fees, exchange rates, and more.

Additionally, we’ll explore an alternative that not only streamlines your travel expenses but also potentially saves you money – the Wise card . It’s an international debit card designed for spending and cash withdrawals in over 150 countries, boasting favourable exchange rates and eliminating the need to carry cash around, leaving extra room in your luggage.

But first, let’s focus on understanding Tesco Bank Travel Money.

What is Tesco Bank Travel Money and How Does it Operate?

Tesco Travel Money is a service that allows you to purchase foreign currency, either online or at a physical Tesco store. This flexibility enables you to either pre-order your currency or buy it on the spot at your local Tesco supermarket, provided they have a travel money bureau in-store.

Tesco Bank boasts a wide range of readily available foreign currencies for purchase, including popular options like EUR and USD. However, if the currency you require isn’t in stock, they can place an order for you.

Here are the key features offered by this service:

• Price Match : If you come across a better exchange rate advertised within three miles of your local Tesco Travel Money Bureau on the same day, Tesco Bank will match it. This applies exclusively to in-store, like-for-like transactions and not to rates advertised online.
• Clubcard Prices : Tesco Clubcard holders can benefit from improved exchange rates by providing a valid Clubcard number. This perk is available only for online currency purchases.
• Buy Back Service : If you have any unused foreign currency remaining after your trip, you can exchange it back to Tesco Bank for pounds.
• 10% Discount on Tesco Bank Travel Insurance : When you purchase Tesco Travel Money, you can enjoy a 10% discount on Tesco Bank travel insurance.

It’s worth noting that Tesco Travel Money received the ‘Best Travel Money Provider’ award in the Personal Finance Awards 2022/23, a recognition bestowed by the public. This foreign currency exchange service is powered by Travelex.

Fees and Exchange Rates

Now, let’s explore the cost associated with using Tesco Bank Travel Money. The good news is that there’s no commission fee when ordering currency in a Tesco store or opting for Click and Collect services.

However, for certain orders requiring home delivery, there are delivery fees to consider. Here are the main charges you should be aware of:

• Online foreign currency orders between £75 and £149.99: £4.99 delivery fee.
• Online foreign currency orders between £150 and £499.99: £3.95 delivery fee.
• Online foreign currency orders over £500: Free.
• Late cancellation of Click & Collect order (less than 24 hours before the collection date): £10 late cancellation fee.

It’s essential to keep in mind that additional charges might apply if you use a credit card to pay for your Tesco Travel Money order. While Tesco Bank won’t charge you, your credit card provider is likely to impose fees for cash-related transactions, which often include foreign currency purchases.

Tesco Travel Money Exchange Rates

Tesco Bank Travel Money, like many other foreign currency providers, incorporates its margin into the mid-market exchange rate. Also known as the interbank rate, this is the rate used by banks for inter-currency transactions, considered one of the fairest exchange rates. However, it’s rarely available through most providers, except for a few like Wise.

By adding its margin to the rate, Tesco Bank generates revenue from the transaction. Unfortunately, this means you’ll receive slightly less foreign currency in exchange for your pounds. Nevertheless, Tesco Bank offers slightly improved rates for Tesco Clubcard holders when they order online.

The exchange rates provided by Tesco Bank are transparent and can be checked in real time on their website.

Do Tesco Clubcard Holders Get Better Exchange Rates?

If you’re a Tesco Clubcard holder considering using Tesco Bank Travel Money, you might be wondering if this loyalty program can help you secure more favourable exchange rates.

The Clubcard Price offered by Tesco Bank Travel Money is designed to provide you with better rates compared to the standard ones advertised online at the time of purchase . This exclusive perk is accessible when you make your currency purchases online. To benefit from the Clubcard Price, you’ll need to input a valid Clubcard number during the transaction.

It’s important to note that exchange rates can fluctuate depending on the method you choose for purchasing your foreign currency. Whether you opt to buy in-store, online, or by phone, these rates may vary.

How to Order Travel Money from Tesco – A 9-step Guide

If you’re interested in obtaining travel money from Tesco, here’s a step-by-step guide for placing an online order:

• Visit the Tesco Bank Travel Money website.
• Choose your desired currency from the dropdown menu on the right-hand side.
• Indicate whether you possess a Tesco Clubcard. If you do, you’ll benefit from enhanced exchange rates.
• Select the amount you wish to order, either by choosing from the predefined options or entering a specific amount.
• Review the exchange rate and the amount of currency you’ll receive in exchange for your pounds.
• Click on ‘Buy Currency Online’
• Follow the on-screen instructions to place your order, including entering your Clubcard number (if applicable) and payment details. Note that online orders are payable by card only.
• Select either Home Delivery or Click & Collect, making the required delivery fee payment if applicable.
• Await the arrival of your travel money through postal delivery or head to your local Tesco Bank bureau on your chosen collection date to pick up your order.

The Collection and Delivery Process

If you opt for Click & Collect, you can conveniently locate your nearest Tesco store with a foreign exchange bureau by entering your postcode. You’ll receive a specified collection date, and your money will be ready for collection after 3 PM on that date. Don’t forget to bring photo ID and the card used for placing the order to verify your identity.

For home delivery orders, here’s what you can expect in terms of delivery times:

• Orders placed before 1:30 PM from Monday to Thursday: Next day delivery.
• Orders placed before 1:30 PM on Friday: Delivery on Saturday or Monday.
• Orders placed after 1:30 PM from Monday to Friday, or anytime on Saturday or Sunday: Delivery within 2 working days.

Remember that someone must be present to sign for the delivery of travel money orders.

The Tesco Multi-currency Cash Passport

Tesco Bank offers an interesting alternative known as the Tesco Multi-currency Cash Passport. This prepaid travel money card allows you to load up to seven different currencies before your trip, enabling spending abroad just like you would with a regular debit card in the UK. The added benefit is the ability to lock in the exchange rate every time you load, reload, or switch between currencies.

However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. The available currencies are limited to euros, US dollars, UK pounds, South African rands, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, and New Zealand dollars. There are fees involved as well, including a £1.50 withdrawal fee at ATMs or a 2% commission on purchases made in UK Pounds.

The Wise Card – A Convenient Alternative to Currency Exchange

While Tesco Bank Travel Money provides a reliable option for obtaining foreign currency, it’s not the sole solution for managing your holiday expenses.

If you’re seeking more favourable exchange rates and a cashless approach, the Wise card is an attractive choice. This contactless international debit card can be used in over 150 countries, wherever Mastercard and Visa are accepted. This grants you the ability to make purchases in shops, restaurants, bars, and transport hubs worldwide.

When you use the Wise card, it automatically converts your pounds to the local currency at the mid-market exchange rate, with no additional margins or markups. There is only a modest currency conversion fee, or none at all if you already have the currency in your Wise account.

For cash needs, the Wise card allows you to withdraw up to £200 per month with no fees (up to two withdrawals). However, be mindful that overseas ATM operators may charge their own fees.

With the Wise card, you can enjoy the convenience of tapping and spending like a local, all while benefiting from a favourable exchange rate. Additionally, the Wise app allows you to manage your account, card, and expenses on the go.

By opening a Wise multi-currency account online, you can obtain a Wise card for a one-time cost of just £7, without any subscription fees. Be sure to review the Terms of Use for your region or check Wise fees and pricing for the most up-to-date information on costs and fees.

And there you have it – a comprehensive overview of Tesco Bank Travel Money and its operations, plus a cashless alternative for digital fans. If you prefer having foreign currency in hand before your trip, then Tesco Travel Money is certainly worth considering, particularly due to its lack of commission fees. Alternatively, you can conveniently visit your local Tesco store with a foreign exchange bureau to obtain your travel money instantly.

Remember, it’s advisable to conduct a quick comparison of exchange rates, as you may find more favourable options for obtaining foreign currency elsewhere but Tesco Travel Money solidifies its reputation with one of the more attractive offerings for travellers.

Furious fans of Sabrina Carpenter have taken to social media to complain after many were unable to get tickets to her upcoming shows - with some claiming the process was worse than Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.

The chart-topping US singer - whose popularity has soared in recent months after the release of her hits Espresso and Please, Please, Please - is bringing her Short N' Sweet tour to the UK in March 2025.

Some had the chance to bag tickets to one of just four shows scheduled in the UK through yesterday's Ticketmaster presale.

But fans appeared to encounter issues, with some users saying they were "booted out", while others reported being unable to buy tickets once they'd reached the front of the queue despite them being seemingly available.

Several people said it was easier and cheaper to get tickets to Taylor Swift's billion-dollar Eras Tour, which attracted huge audience demand and led to her adding an extra run of London dates.

Others had complaints about the cost, with one person branding the £234 price for "nosebleed" seats "appalling" and another describing it as "disgusting".

Sky News has contacted Ticketmaster for comment.

Dolly Parton has expanded her business empire yet again - this time with a wine range. 

The iconic country singer already has a range of products, including cake baking mixes, dog accessories and greetings cards. 

Now she has launched Dolly Wines with a Chardonnay, prosecco and rose. 

While the Chardonnay is currently available only in the US, her prosecco and rose are coming to the UK later this year. 

Reports have suggested her line will launch exclusively in Asda on 12 September in partnership with Accolade Wines, costing between £9.50 and £11 a bottle. 

In a post on Instagram, Dolly Wines says the products will be available this autumn.

The number of shoplifting offences recorded by police in England and Wales has risen to a new 20-year high , the latest data has revealed.

A total of 443,995 offences were logged by forces in the year to March 2024. 

That's up 30% from the 342,428 offences recorded during the same time last year. 

The figure is the highest since current records began in 2003, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Shoplifting levels had already reached a 20-year high earlier this year - but the figures released today show the number of offences recorded has now risen even further. 

It comes as major retailers continue to raise concerns about the rising cost of theft. 

The new Labour government has vowed to tackle shoplifting and make assaulting a shop worker a specific criminal offence in a bid to deal with the rising problem. 

Primark has partnered with a disability advocate to expand its adaptive clothing range. 

The retailer has teamed up with Victoria Jenkins to introduce more disability-friendly products after it launches its first adaptive collection earlier this year. 

The lingerie collection featured four items with magnetic closures - a seam-free bra, lace bralette, brief and period pants. 

Ms Jenkins founded her own award-winning adaptive fashion brand, Unhidden, in 2016. 

" I am thrilled to be working with Primark as part of my mission to bring affordable adaptive fashion to the high street," she said. 

"By Primark recognising the needs of the disabled and chronic sick community and acting upon it in such a meaningful way is going to be life changing for millions of people, and I am excited to work with Primark to bring this to life." 

Further details of her partnership with the clothing giant are set to be revealed later in the year. 

Sending a child back to school this year will set parents back nearly £500 as they fork out for uniforms, stationary and tech. 

For many, the summer holidays are in full swing, but families are already planning their back-to-school spending. 

Market consultancy firm Gekko has found those with children in primary school will spend an average of £490.80 to get their little ones prepped for the school term. 

Those with teenagers will spend slightly less at around £422.90. and parents of young people entering college or sixth form will splash £390.20. 

This is how it works out... 

Overall, the amount spent will reach £2.3bn across the UK, Gekko said. 

However, with families still feeling the pinch on their finances, nearly three quarters of parents have said rising costs have made it much harder to afford school supplies. 

One third (33%) of parents will be drawing on savings, but others will rely on borrowing, with three in 10 putting costs on credit cards, and one in 10 even borrowing from family to foot the bill. 

Daniel Todaro, CEO at Gekko Group, said: "Back-to-school spending is looming large for parents - and with rising costs, it will be more expensive than ever this year. 

"The addition of laptops and tablets to the long list of requirements is an extra challenge due to both the cost and the technical specifications." 

Shares in Tesla have taken a hit after the electric vehicle maker published a 45% decline in quarterly profits and warned cost reduction targets were off track.

The stock fell 8% in after-hours trade, leaving it on track for a decline of almost 50% in the year to date, after the release of its second quarter earnings.

Chief executive Elon Musk, who cut 10% of the company's workforce at the end of April as part of a bid to reduce pressure on its bottom line, said its promised shift towards more affordable models was on track for early 2025 but proving more expensive than expected.

The cost of AI projects, including plans to produce and use humanoid robots, dragged too.

Net profits for the April-June quarter came in at $1.48bn - down on the $2.7bn figure achieved in the same period last year.

From a bumper income on the way for the Royal Family to the King's new solar panels and helicopters and Prince William keeping his Duchy of Cornwall team on their toes on WhatsApp, it's all come out in the annual royal finance report.

The annual accounts have shown the monarchy is set to receive a boost of more than £45m in its funding , with a 53% jump in its official annual income in 2025/2026 to £132m.

Rising profits from the Crown Estate to £1.1bn in 2023/2024 mean the taxpayer-funded Sovereign Grant, which supports the official duties of the royal family, will stay at £86.3m in 2024/2025 but then jump to £132m the following year.

It's after Crown Estate financial figures showed profits were up this year - the sovereign grant is always based on funds two years in arrears.

Banks will have to protect customers' access to cash under new rules being introduced by the UK's financial watchdog.

The powers, which will be enforced from 18 September, will see greater obligations placed on banks and building societies to plug gaps in local cash access, the Financial Conduct Authority said. 

The move comes as Britain's high street lenders have shut thousands of branches across the UK in recent years, leaving many towns without any local branches. 

The rules will require them to act if difficulties in the provision of basic services, including the ability to bank cash, are found.

Lenders will also have to keep a service, including a branch or cash machine, open until such time as a replacement is identified or operational.

Failures to abide by the rules could ultimately lead to an unlimited fine, the FCA said.

Next has come under fire after introducing a charge for clothes hangers at its checkouts. 

The retailer has introduced the 15p fee across four of its stores in Bristol, Preston, Watford and Bishop Auckland - but it could be rolled out further if the trial is successful. 

Customers have taken to X to criticise the "shocking" charge, with some surprised to be faced with paying it after spending large amounts on clothes. 

One complained about receiving "poor customer service" after spending £149 on a suit and being told she could not have a hanger or a suit carrier. 

Next is not the only store to charge for hangers, though. 

Earlier this year, Tesco trialled a 10p fee for its hangers, and Matalan made the same move in 2023.

Sky News has contacted Next for comment. 

Nationwide has become the first major lender to introduce a mortgage deal for less than 4%. 

It has cut rates across its two, three and five year fixed rate products by up to 0.25% today, with its lowest rate now standing at 3.99%. 

The move has been praised by brokers, who say it's a sign that momentum in the mortgage market is picking up, but some point out that it will only benefit those with a large deposit. 

Here are some of the new rates available: 

New customers moving home

• Five-year fixed rate at 60% LTV with a £1,4992 fee is 3.99%
• Five-year fixed rate at 60% LTV with a £999 fee is 4.04% 
• Two-year fixed rate at 80% LTV with a £999 fee is 4.87% 

First-time buyers

• Five-year fixed rate at 85% LTV with a £999 fee is 4.55%
• Two-year fixed rate at 85% LTV with a £999 fee is 4.95% 
• Five-year fixed rate at 60% LTV with a £1,4992 fee is 4.34%
• Five-year fixed rate at 60% LTV with a £1,4992 fee is now 4.27% 
• Two-year fixed rate at 75% LTV with a £999 fee is now 4.79%

Graham Cox, director of Self-Employed Mortgage Hub, says: "Nationwide dropping rates below 4% is a sure sign the worst of the mortgage market woes are well and truly behind us. 

"After several months of steadily increasing rates, the last month has seen consistent mortgage rate cuts from all the major lenders," he told Newspage. 

"With a base rate cut likely in August or September, we could see a big jump in property transactions in the coming months." 

Emma Jones, the director of When The Bank Says No, adds: "The sub-4% mortgage is back. 

"Even though it will only be available to borrowers with bigger deposits or more equity, this is a big moment and shows the momentum picking up in the mortgage market." 

Nationwide says the cuts reinforce its position as "one of the most competitive lenders in the market" and it is aiming to maintain its support for all types of borrowers.

Bang! And the dirt is gone.

The company behind Durex and Nurofen has announced a big strategy shake-up that will include the sale of a portfolio of home care brands, including Cillit Bang and Calgon cleaning products.

Owner Reckitt Benckiser said it was part of a wider move to drive shareholder value that would be expected to result in some job losses.

It added that it was too early to put a figure on the numbers affected but signalled they would not be significant.

Shares rose more than 4% on the news, despite the company lowering its full-year sales growth outlook for 2024, blaming temporary supply disruptions within its nutrition business.

Among other companies reporting this morning amid a rush to clear the decks before the summer break was Aston Martin Lagonda.

The luxury carmaker's shares were 10% higher after it said the worst of its losses were now in the rearview mirror.

Aston revealed a pre-tax loss of £216.7m for the six months to the end of June, compared with a loss of £142.2m in the same period last year.

It has been making fewer vehicles ahead of the introduction of new models, including the DB12, which are expected to help turn its financial fortunes around.

Let's look at easyJet too.

The no-frills carrier saw its stock soar by 8% after it reported a 16% lift in profits during the third quarter of its financial year.

The company raised the annual forecast for its holidays division ahead of the summer rush.

The chief executive said, unlike his Ryanair counterpart on Monday, that fares were stable on last year rather than falling and that demand was solid.

The FTSE 100 opened 0.4% lower at 8,145 led by financial and technology stocks.

Hidden in overall grocery inflation - which stands at 1.6 per cent right now - are the huge rises in the price of some specific products we've seen over the past two years.

One of those is ice cream.

Cornetto and Solero are among the popular brands that have soared in price in the past two years.

Which? compared costs at the biggest supermarkets in the two months to July this year with the same period two years ago.

Cornetto's strawberry cones, the biggest riser, has increased by 38%.

The Cornetto Classico jumped by 35%, and Solero Exotics went up 35%.

This table sets out the biggest hikes...

Which? also found some supermarket own-brands did better in blind taste tests than the original brand and were a good option for consumers looking to avoid the biggest hikes.

For instance, Aldi's Gianni's tropico exotic fruit lollies, which cost £1.35 for three, scored 76% in a taste test - higher overall than Solero, which scored 70%.

And Asda, Lidl and Morrison's scored 77% with their strawberry ice cream cone tests, more than Cornetto's 65%.

Every Wednesday we ask top chefs to pick their favourite Cheap Eats where they live and when they cook at home. This week we speak to Tommy Heaney of the restaurant Heaneys Cardiff in the Welsh capital.

Hi Tommy, can you tell us your favourite places in south Wales where you can get a meal for two for less than £40?

I love what they are doing with the Cardiff Market, we've been crying out for a permanent street food market for years! My go-to is Tokyo Nights , fill your boots with homemade Gyoza and a banging tonkatsu sando.

The Bab Haus is another great spot that can be found in Newport, Barry and now Caerphilly. Leyli is one of the hardest working chefs I know, but more importantly she does a belting taco. 

My favourite is Beales Fish and Chips in Porthcawl, it's about 20 minutes from my house. 

Nothing is better than when the sun is out, loading up the van with the family and pups, grabbing some fish, chips, a battered sausage or two and curry sauce. Head to the beach, open the doors and just pig out in the back of the van.

What is your go-to cheap eat to cook at home when you have a night in?

A carbonara is my go-to when wanting a quick and easy meal at home. 

It's so simple - just five ingredients, which are all household staples. Don't overcomplicate it - all you need is garlic, bacon, spaghetti, parmesan and eggs. My twelve-year-old makes a banging one.

We've spoken to lots of top chefs and bloggers - check out their cheap eats from around the country here...

Nationwide has launched new savings opportunities for customers with the issue of fixed-rate online bond and fixed rate branch bond schemes - and savers only need £1 to open an account.

The new offer means savers who lock their money away - in this case for a year - have a chance to generate hundreds of pounds.

The new rates are:

• 1 Year Fixed Rate Online Bond - 4.5% AER
• 1 Year Fixed Rate Branch Bond - 4.5% AER

If you have £5,000 to invest, for example, you would earn £225 in interest a year. 

Tom Riley, director of retail products at Nationwide, told Sky News the new one-year bond scheme pay an increased rate and are a "competitive option for those who like to save with a high-street brand they know and trust".

"We offer a range of accounts to suit the different needs of savers," he said.

"Some of our best rates are available for those with a lump sum who can lock their money away for a longer period."

Not sure what AER means? We explained everything you need to know in our Basically... series recently:
