A SCOTTISH community which has been campaigning for more free-to-use ATMs is at the centre of a new model for high street banking plan to boost access to cash which could be rolled across the UK. The new hope for high-street banking, funded by the banking industry comes in the form of brand new five-banks-in-one hub hosted by the Post Office which are now being tested in Cambuslang and Rochford in Essex. The schemes fronted by Community Access to Cash Pilots Board chairman Natalie Ceeney being launched today (Weds) will offer access to basic banking and cash withdrawals and deposits through a counter operated by the Post Office, which will support the customers of all major retail banks.

The locations involved in the Community Access to Cash Pilots (CACP) schemes are, within England, Botton Village (North Yorkshire), Burslem (Staffordshire), Lulworth Camp (Dorset), and Rochford (Essex); within Northern Ireland, Millisle (County Down); within Scotland, Cambuslang (South Lanarkshire), and Denny (Falkirk); and in Wales, Hay-on-Wye (Breconshire).
Each community is trialling different initiatives.
In two of these locations, Cambuslang and Rochford, new Post Office “bank hubs” have been set up, with dedicated rooms where customers can see staff from their own bank.
The hubs will offer access to basic banking and cash withdrawals and deposits through a counter operated by the Post Office.
