Business deposits also rise, showing reliance on cash despite shift online in Covid crisis
Savers deposited record sums at Post Office branches in April, taking the total to more than £1bn for the second month in a row.
The Post Office said it was the first time that personal deposits have topped £1bn for two successive months. A total of £1.07bn was paid in over its counters, following cash deposits of £1.12bn in March. Last September was the only other month when personal cash deposits exceeded £1bn.
