The Banking Hub in Jedburgh.
Written by Local Democracy Reporter, Paul Kelly
Jedburgh residents can cash in from this week with the opening of a new banking hub in the town.
Cash Access UK, the organisation set up to protect nationwide access to cash, has confirmed today that the new hub is open at 40 High Street, the former Bank of Scotland premises.
The official opening will take place tomorrow and Charlie Young, president of Jedburgh Callants Club, will be in attendance to cut the ribbon. Everyone is welcome to attend between 11am and noon.
The hub will offer a counter service operated by the Post Office, where customers of all major banks can carry out regular cash transactions, Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
It also offers a Community Banker service where customers can talk to their own bank about more complicated issues on the day their bank is represented at the hub.
In Jedburgh, the Community Bankers are available on the following days: Monday – TSB;Tuesday – Santander; Wednesday – Bank of Scotland and the RBS on Thursday. No community banker will be available on Friday.
The hub was initially recommended by LINK, the UK’s cash access and ATM network, following the announcement of the closure of the Bank of Scotland, the town’s last remaining bank branch.
Jedburgh’s banking hub is the thirteenth to open in Scotland and 11 more are in progress.
Gareth Oakley, CEO at Cash Access UK, said: “I’m happy to announce the opening of our Jedburgh Hub, ensuring crucial access to cash and face-to-face banking services which are vital to both residents and businesses across the community.
“Customers can visit on any day of the week for their everyday banking transactions and if you have a specific or more complex enquiry for your bank, a community banker will be there to help on the day they’re in the hub.”
