What you can do if your local branch closes
Many people still rely on the face-to-face contact that a trip to the local high street branch can offer.
If you have been left stuck by one of these closures you should be able to do most basic banking tasks at your local Post Office.
This will not apply if you need to apply for a loan or open a new bank account but they should be able to help you with basic banking.
Many banks also offer a mobile banking service where the bank brings a bus to your area where services that are usually available at your branch can be obtained.
If you are unsure how to access the services that your local branch used to offer it is best to give them a call and ask what options are available.
