Two further banks are set to close. Halifax and Lloyds Bank have confirmed more closures that affect Exeter and Exmouth customers.
The Lloyds bank located in the St Thomas Precinct in Exeter will close in August. This follows the NatWest branch that previously closed in the precinct in May last year. Also, Halifax have confirmed that the branch at The Parade in Exmouth will also close this August.
The news of more closures will be worrying for those more vulnerable customers who rely on face-to-face banking or that do not have access to digital services.
Customers are advised to check if a "banking hub" is open in their area where they can visit a "community banker" for help with certain services. "Banking hubs" are located in shared public spaces on the high street, such as libraries or communities, for customers who need face-to-face support. Each bank will take it in turns on a different day to occupy the "banking hub" space, but you don't necessarily need to be a customer of that particular bank to use some of the services.
