What about all the people that are not able to use Internet banking, particularly the elderly what will they do when their local branch closes.  Five of those closures are in Sheffield.  Broomhill FirthPark Hillsborough Millhouses Woodseats  Plus Stocksbridge and Peniistone.  http://www.mirror.co.uk/money/astonishing-197-natwest-62-rbs-11618534 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

AMR67 Â Â 10 #5 Posted December 1, 2017 It was only a matter of time until my branch (Firth Park) closed down. It has already stopped opening on a Wednesday and Saturday. This comes after the Yorkshire Bank 2 doors down closed in the Summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
The Joker   10 #6 Posted December 1, 2017 Five of those closures are in Sheffield. .. FirthPark ..   No great loss to the much sought-after village of Firth Park.  I only used their cash machine occasionally, and since Heron Foods opened with an instore ATM, I use it even less.  One more greedy bank closes, proof that Capitalism is on its last legs  Up the workers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
