wrinkly67 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 As more people switch to online and mobile banking there is no need for so many branches. Not always the answer. We lost out village post office and now have to travel eight miles to our bank - to be met with a situation of a solitary cashier with a long queue but numerous staff swanning around in order to advocate using a machine to pay in/draw out - machines which, from personal experience even when operated by the staff themselves, don't always work first time. So, the answer is always to go on-line. Well we did but a major drawback is our intermittent broadband connection. It's worrying to be halfway through a transaction and then the "system" to falter. A small business in our village has, on more than one occasion, had to trust total strangers to call back later to pay in cash as the internet hasn't allowed a card transaction.

Padders Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 No great loss to the much sought-after village of Firth Park. I only used their cash machine occasionally, and since Heron Foods opened with an instore ATM, I use it even less. One more greedy bank closes, proof that Capitalism is on its last legs Up the workers Look on the bright side joker, room for another much needed betting shop.

Monitor Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yeah probably has it (Millhouses Sheffield) always been a bank ? Certainly since 1968 because I opened my first bank account there at that time. It may have been The National Provincial Bank, but it was around then the NP and Westminster banks merged to form NatWest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Allowing the banks to close is a step on the way to a 'cashless society.' Then the banks will truly be in charge... Computer says No.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Look on the bright side joker, room for another much needed betting shop. I am hoping we’ll get something a little classier, like a fast food takeaway perhaps, or maybe even a frozen food shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only a retail branch closure, you're account isn't closing. You can still go to any other Natwest branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your branch closes does it have any baring on anything? does any one you have bank details with such as your employer need to be updated on the new main branch?
