Cash Access UK, the organisation set up to protect nationwide access to cash, has confirmed today that the new Banking Hub in Barton-upon-Humber will be located at 6 Market Place (the former Lloyds Bank premises).
The Hub, when it opens, will offer a counter service operated by the Post Office, where customers of all major banks and building societies can carry out regular cash transactions, It will also offer a Community Banker service where customers can talk to their own banking provider about more complicated issues, Monday to Friday, 9.00am - 5.00pm. Community Bankers will work on rotation, with a different bank or building society available on each day of the week:
Monday: HSBC
Tuesday: NatWest
Wednesday: Lloyds
Thursday: Santander (pm)
Friday: Barclays
Finding the right location for a Banking Hub that is convenient, accessible and works for everyone often takes time, so Cash Access UK is delighted to have been able to secure a convenient premise within the heart of the community. This development is a significant step forward in bringing a Banking Hub to Barton-upon-Humber.
The team at Cash Access UK are now working hard to fit out the new premises and will update the community on progress and an opening date as soon as they can. The Barton-upon-Humber Banking Hub page on the Cash Access UK website will provide updates as works progress.
Gareth Oakley, CEO at Cash Access UK: “We are excited to share that we have successfully secured an excellent site for the Barton-upon-Humber Banking Hub. This brings us a significant step closer in being able to deliver improved access to cash services to individuals and businesses in Barton-upon-Humber.”
A spokesperson from Baron-upon-Humber Town Council: “This is great news and a positive step forward in bringing face-to-face banking services back to the town, its residents, businesses and those in the surrounding villages. We are delighted the community campaign to secure the Hub was successful.”
Martin Vickers, MP for Cleethorpes: “When the Hub opens it will be really valuable for Barton-upon-Humber's residents, particularly those who depend on in-person banking services and cash transactions. The securing of its location marks a significant advancement for the community, and I eagerly anticipate further news and updates."
