The three cash machines at my local station have been sitting empty of cash since last March.

I have to collect my mother's pension for her at the Post Office and while we should cherish our post offices and use them, it's very frustrating waiting while someone is posting 20 eBay orders or returning goods to Asos or Amazon before your turn.rob wrote: ↑Thu 06 May, 2021 07.16Haven't entered a bank for almost four years, the last time was to close my Grandfather's account when he died.all new Phil wrote: ↑Sat 01 May, 2021 09.57 Genuine question - what do people actually go to the bank for these days?

I use my Post Office to deposit and withdraw money, I can put cheques in the bank through my app, and that's about it really.
Using a Post Office to send post you mean?

Who knew that if you operated branches with severely reduced hours for 1-1/2 years due to Covid that branch usage might decline. Nothing to do with the fact that people wanting to go to the branch can't get to it during the few hours that its open, and even went it is open the counter service may still be shut.Martin Phillp wrote: ↑Wed 01 Dec, 2021 00.22 70 TSB branches to close in 2022.
The likes of Aylesbury and Tunbridge Wells losing their branches being in affluent areas show that those who can afford to do so are more likely to use internet banking. Customers will have the option of using the Post Office for basic banking or community pop-up centres in areas where there's a significant distance between branches closing.
Incidentally try finding the branch finder and I could only find the branch finder on the footer of the home page, which shows how important it is for TSB.

Barclays have already decided in my local branch (the only bank that is still open locally) that you have to deposit or withdraw £300 or more to use the counter service when customers preferred to use the one remaining counter instead of the self service machines.Charlie Wells wrote: ↑Wed 01 Dec, 2021 10.30Who knew that if you operated branches with severely reduced hours for 1-1/2 years due to Covid that branch usage might decline.
