TSB is launching more than 40 new “pop-up” services, appearing in locations such as libraries, town halls and community centres, across Britain. The move follows previous announcements from the bank that 153 of its branches would be scheduled for closure in 2021. The bank said the pop-ups including Johnstone and Alexandria will support customers with banking services such as making payments, getting help with products, and help with bereavements. Some are being launched in April, with others to follow by the summer. They will operate one day a week in local communities, based in third party locations such as libraries, town halls, community centres and business centres.
