"But we are expecting the threshold for needing face to face services within or close to a community to be around a population size of more than 7,000 within 1 km of the centre, and more than 70 local retailers."<\/p>\n

What you can do if your local branch closes<\/h2>\n

Many people still rely on the face-to-face contact that a trip to the local high street branch can offer.<\/p>\n

And some of these closures will make it difficult for some people, particularly the elderly to access the services they need.<\/p>\n

However, there are still a number of ways in which customers can access basic banking services once their local branch has closed.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Many banks also offer a mobile\u00a0banking service\u00a0where the bank brings a bus to your area where services that are usually available at your branch can be obtained.<\/p>\n

If you contact your bank they will be able to tell you if they offer that service and when and where the bus will be.<\/p>\n

Other banks use buildings such as village halls or libraries to offer\u00a0mobile banking services.<\/p>\n
