Bodmin temporary Banking Hub opens

Published on 1 October 2024

A new Banking Hub for Bodmin has opened in a temporary home in Shire House, Mount Folly.               

The temporary Hub will be open five days a week and will remain available until the new permanent Banking Hub opens. It offers 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 in the Hub:   

Monday: Halifax (from December 2024)

Tuesday: Lloyds (from December 2024)

Wednesday: HSBC (coming soon)

Thursday: NatWest

Friday: Barclays

While the Temporary Hub is up and running today, Cash Access UK are carrying out work on the permanent home for the Banking Hub located at 6 Fore Street, Bodmin. The team will provide updates on this work and the temporary Hub opening today will remain open until the permanent Hub is up and running. Local residents can also check for updates on our website. 

This is the fourth Banking Hub to open in Cornwall, following Saltash, Helston, and Looe.

Leigh Frost, Councillor for Bodmin St Petroc: “I’m thrilled that we’ve found the perfect spot for Bodmin’s new banking hub. I can’t wait to see the doors open, knowing it’s going to offer our residents the banking support they need. I’m also delighted that Cash Access is setting up a temporary hub at the Shire House to make sure everyone has a smooth transition. It’s a big win for our community, and I couldn’t be happier about it.” 

Gareth Oakley, CEO at Cash Access UK: “I’m happy to announce that our temporary Banking Hub in Bodmin is now open while we carry out the necessary building work on the permant location for the Hub. Residents can now enjoy access to cash and face-to-face services once again.”
