PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Banking Hubs (18 July 2024)

The Government recognises the importance of banking to communities and high streets and has committed to work closely with banks to roll out at least 350 banking hubs over the next five years.

147 banking hubs have already been recommended and Cash Access UK, the industry body responsible for banking hub deployment, expects 100 banking hubs to be open before the end of the year. These will provide individuals and businesses up and down the country with critical cash and banking services.

While not the same as a bank branch, alternative options to access everyday banking services can also include telephone banking, through digital means such as mobile or online banking, and via one of the UK’s 11,500 Post Office branches.
