Horwich’s permanent Banking Hub now open

A permanent Banking Hub is now open in Horwich. The new Banking Hub is located on Winter Hey Lane and replaces the temporary Hub which has been open since January in Craven House.

The Hub will continue to 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 will also offer 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. Community Bankers will work on rotation, with a different bank available on each day of the week:

Monday: Barclays

Tuesday: NatWest

Wednesday: Halifax

Thursday: Santander

Friday: Lloyds

Cash Access UK have been working hard to fit out the premises over the past few months in preparation for the opening. The Hub was recommended by LINK, the UK’s cash access and ATM network, following the announcement of the closure of the town’s last remaining bank branch in January 2023.

The Hub will be officially opened by local MP, Phil Brickell, at 12pm on 29 August.

Gareth Oakley, CEO, Cash Access UK: “I'm delighted to announce the opening of the permanent home for the Horwich Banking Hub which will guarantee the local community access to cash and face-to-face banking services once again.”
