New banking hubs launched across UK communities

New banking hubs are being established across several UK towns to provide essential banking services as traditional branches close due to declining foot traffic. In Market Harborough, a hub will open temporarily in the council offices, allowing customers of any bank to perform transactions and access community banker services. Similarly, a hub in Bacup will operate Monday through Friday with scheduled community banker days for specific banks, while Uckfield residents can access banking support at The Civic Centre. Dunbar is also set to introduce a temporary hub at the Bleachingfield Centre, with plans for a permanent location in the future. Local leaders emphasize the importance of these hubs for residents who prefer in-person banking services, particularly those without internet access. As these initiatives expand, they aim to ensure continued access to cash and banking support in communities affected by branch closures.
