Ballynahinch: Six hubs now open in Northern Ireland

A sixth banking hub for Northern Ireland has opened in a temporary home in Ballynahinch, located in the CWU Hall on Windmill Road.  

Customers of all major banks can visit any weekday between 9am-5pm to carry out regular cash transactions including cash withdrawals and deposits as well as checking balances or paying bills. Additionally, the hub also offers a community banker service where customers can talk to their own bank in a private space about more complicated issue on the day their bank is in the hub: 

Monday: Ulster Bank 

Tuesday: No community banker available 

Wednesday: Barclays 

Thursday: Danske Bank 

Friday: Santander     

While the hub in Ballynahinch is up and running today, Cash Access UK can confirm it is currently working to secure a long term home for the banking hub which will offer the same services. Local residents can check for updates on our website.   

This is the sixth banking hub to open in Northern Ireland following Kilkeel, Warrenpoint, Portrush, Newcastle, and Comber. Ballynahinch was recommended a banking hub by LINK, the UK’s cash access and ATM network, following a community request by local councils. 

This is one of eleven banking hubs that are being opened today across the UK. The other 10 are in Fleetwood, Hayle, Keynsham, Redruth, Wetherby, Alsager, Bakewell, Dorking, Dunbar, and Newland. 

Gareth Oakley, CEO at Cash Access UK: “I’m happy to announce that the new banking hub in Ballynahinch is now open, giving local residents renewed access to cash and in-person banking services. The hub is available for everyday banking transactions every day of the week, and for more specific or complex enquiries, a community banker will be on-site to assist on designated days.”
