The Bank of England (BoE) has rolled out a new banknote application, an interactive guide to its banknotes that can be used on mobile phones to enable public to identify security features on its banknotes.

Through the application, the central bank of UK aims to make its educational material more accessible to retailers, businesses and members of the public, as part of its ongoing commitment to build awareness in the country.

Leveraging its touch-screen guide, the app enables users to learn about the security features on all current Bank of England banknotes.

Available for free, the application can be downloaded from the Apple or Google Play Stores, or can be accessed through links on the central bank’s website.

In December 2013, the BoE said that it will launch polymer banknotes in 2016 that can last longer.
