Five high street banks will operate from a new banking hub in Hornsea, which has been without banking provision since the closure of its last two bank branches in 2018.
Barclays (Monday), Lloyds (Tuesday), HSBC (Wednesday) NatWest (Thursday), and Santander (Friday afternoons) will open for business at a banking hub at Unit 2, Newbegin, a site formerly occupied by Poundland.
The hub 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.
Councillor Barbara Jefferson, portfolio holder for coastal communities, said: “With bank branches closing across the country, we must make sure people still have access to cash and banking services in their communities.
“Not everyone has access to the internet, and even if they do, they may not wish to do their banking that way, so it is wonderful that we are now able to bring in-person bank services back for the people of Hornsea.
“I am very much looking forward to this Banking Hub opening for the people of Hornsea and I’d like to thank everyone who has made this possible.”
Gareth Oakley, CEO of Cash Access UK, said: “Following anticipation from the local community, I am glad that we are able to confirm the location of the forthcoming Banking Hub in Hornsea.
The Banking Hub will greatly improve access to cash services for individuals and small businesses in the Hornsea community.”
