Since then hundreds of High Street branches have been shut down, with banking hubs or free ATMs set up in areas left without any local bank
In Lancashire, 17 big banks have closed branches since launching a scheme to protect access to access to cash and face-to-face financial services last year. It comes as the 1,000th local branch across the UK is set to close its doors.
“We are proactively providing enhanced, bespoke care to ensure any vulnerable customers affected are supported through the changes.” “I would encourage any community without a bank branch to check on www.link.co.uk whether we have already recommended additional services, and if not get in touch with us to find out more.”
It follows research that shows four in 10 elderly people with a bank account in Britain struggle to manage their money online and could be at risk of financial exclusion.
