Denbigh has been left without a single high street bank after HSBC, Halifax, NatWest and Barclays shut their branches in the last few years.
A wave of branch closures across the UK have led to banking hubs being created so that people can access essential banking services.
The UK’s cash access and ATM network, LINK developed the idea for these hubs but so far they have declined to create one in Denbigh.
A new banking hub was opened in Prestatyn in December 2023 in response to branch closures in the town.
Banking hubs operate in a similar way to traditional bank branches. But the spaces are shared and the hub includes a counter service operated by Post Office staff.
Customers of any bank can withdraw and deposit cash, make bill payments, and carry out regular banking transactions. There is also access free ATMs, and cashback without purchase.
They have private spaces for dealing with more complicated issues. In these customers can speak to a staff member from their own bank.
These banks work on a rotating basis, and this means staff from different banks are available on different days.

We, the undersigned, support the creation of a banking hub in Denbigh
