What are Banking Hubs? These are dedicated places where communities can access everyday personal and business banking services, such as withdrawing and depositing cash easily or paying in cheques over the counter. They’re also somewhere to speak in person with your bank's local community representative, who will be on site for a specific day each week, to help with more complicated transactions such as mortgages, loans and pensions, and can offer debt advice and help with fraud prevention. Owned by Cash Access UK, funded by the banks and run by the Post Office, they're a way of bringing back banking to the people and areas that need it.
