What happened
The Bank of England has published the minutes of a meeting of its banknote imagery advisory group, held on 15 July 2026. The minutes were posted on the central bank’s website on 16 October 2026.
The published summary confirms the meeting date and the title of the document. It does not set out what the group discussed or decided, so this report does not go beyond those facts.
What it means for you
Nothing in the confirmed details changes the banknotes in circulation or how they can be used. If you hold pounds sterling, whether as savings, travel money or for sending funds to family, no action follows from this publication.
If you want the full detail of the discussion, the complete minutes are available on the Bank of England website.
