New bank facilities have opened in Grimsby following the closure of Barclays branch last month.
The Barclays Local facility, based in Grimsby Town Hall, offers face-to-face meetings.
The Grimsby branch was among 18 nationally which were earmarked for closure in 2024, after Barclays announced it would be closing a third of its UK network, which included the Victoria Street branch.
According to data released by the company, fewer than 10 customers use the branch regularly as the only way to do their banking, and 93% of people who use the branch have also banked using the app. online and by phone.
The public can access help and advice at the pop up site for a range of issues, which include money management, bereavement assistance, digital banking, fraud, and payments and transfers.
Based in Grimsby Town Hall, The Barclays Local is open Monday-Friday, 9:30am- 12:30pm, and 1pm to 3:30pm. It will be a cashless site.
A Barclays spokesperson said: “Barclays is committed to deploying a range of more flexible ways that customers can physically interact with the bank, this includes over 330 banking sites located in town centres, with a presence in spaces such as community centres, libraries and business hubs where it offers drop in and pre-booked appointments.
“We’re delighted to launch the replace banking service here in Grimsby. This represents our commitment to customers and the local community who wish to continue to have an in-person banking presence by offering the ability to visit Barclays on their local high street, albeit in a different environment.”
