Local MP Alan Mak has welcomed the introduction of TSB’s pop-up bank on Hayling Island.
The bank announced last year that their Hayling Island branch would be closing, which Mr Mak found very disappointing. He took immediate action and wrote to the bank asking them to review their decision and introduce a pop-up service if the branch closed.
TSB is now operating the pop-up service at Hayling Island Community Centre every Thursday between 9:30am and 4:30pm. Residents will be able to access a range of face-to-face services and assistance with making payments and help with products.
Local MP Alan Mak said “When I heard TSB were closing their branch, I launched a campaign to introduce a pop-up bank so we retained some face-to-face banking on the Island and supported the Community Centre through room hire income at the same time. I’m pleased the pop-up bank is working well and I enjoyed seeing it in action. Thanks to all residents for supporting the campaign for a pop-up bank.”
Regional Director for TSB, Dan Pearson, said: “Although we’ve seen a significant rise in customers using digital banking, we know accessing banking services remains important to many customers and we’re always looking for ways to continue to help them. The Hayling Island pop-up service is here to help our local customers who still want access to a face-to-face service – so please do drop by if we can be of support.”
TSB has said it will be writing to customers who frequently used the old permanent branch, informing them of the new service and how they can use it.
