Banking Hubs and Shared Banking Services

Shared banking services are opening across the country. On High Streets where bank branches have closed, they are helping people and businesses deposit and withdraw cash.

We assess communities to work out where these services need to go to preserve good access to cash.

We assess which communities need better access to cash services. When we recommend a new service, in the majority of cases they will be delivered by Cash Access UK. 

We do our work independently, and in the interests of consumers and communities.

We publish the outcomes of our assessments, and any services we recommend are expected to open within 12 weeks if there are no services in place already. If a branch of a Designated Firm is due to close, it will stay open until an alternative is delivered. Some of the Designated Firms use Cash Access UK to set up and run those new facilities.
