Banking hub opens in Morley, Leeds after closure of multiple bank branches

A new banking hub has opened in south Leeds following the closure of multiple bank branches.

The hub consists of a counter service, where customers of any bank can withdraw and deposit cash, make bill payments and carry out regular banking transactions.

In addition, there are private spaces where customers can speak to community bankers from their own bank for more complicated matters that require specialist knowledge or privacy. The banks will be working on a rotating basis, so there will be staff from different banks available on different days.

The rota for Morley Banking Hub is: Monday Barclays; Tuesday NatWest; Wednesday Lloyds; Thursday Halifax and Friday Santander. The Hub will be open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

The new opening comes following the closure of a number of Morley bank branches, including Santander and HSBC. It has been welcomed by Morley Borough Independents councillors Terry Grayshon and Jane Senior.
