Closure Of Market Harborough Bank Delayed
Written by HFM News on 4th October 2024
The closure of Lloyds Bank in Market Harborough has been put back following a review of access to cash in the town.
The branch was due to shut at the start of December, but will now stay open until the end of March next year, by which time a new Banking Hub is set to be open in the town centre.
The move follows the Financial Conduct Authority introducing new rules around bank closures.
Harborough MP Neil O’Brien told HFM he is pleased the branch will stay open for a bit longer:
The closure of Lloyd Bank has been delayed
A Lloyds Bank spokesperson said: “As many customers now choose to bank through their mobile app or online, visits to our Market Harborough branch have fallen over recent years.
“Customers can use the local Post Office for everyday banking which is a short walk away, and access cash at the nearby free-to-use ATMs.
“Customers can also manage their money online, by calling us, or at the new Banking Hub once it is up and running.“
Cllr Phil Knowles, Leader of Harborough District Council spoke to HFM:
