- Barclays launches its Barclays Local service replacing the branch at Hunstanton
- Colleagues on hand to support with digital and complex banking requirements
- Opening hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday 9.30 to 12:30 and 13:00 to 15.30
Located at the Town Hall, Hunstanton, the Barclays Local service is designed to provide easy access for customers with digital and complex banking needs. Barclays colleagues will be on hand from Tuesday to Friday offering face to face financial support and education for customers, without the need to travel.
Barclays is committed to deploying a range of more flexible ways that customers can physically interact with the bank, this includes over 250 banking sites located in town centres, plus presence in spaces such as community centres, libraries and business hubs where it offers drop in and pre-booked appointments.
Lianne Coupland, Barclays Deputy Customer Care Director said:
“We’re delighted to launch the new Barclays Local in Hunstanton. This new service represents our commitment to customers and the local community who wish to continue to have in-person support by offering the ability to visit Barclays locally, albeit in a different environment.”
Customers visiting us will be able to access a wide range of services, including assistance with finances and money management. We will also offer free digital skills workshops and fraud and scams awareness events for the community. As the Barclays Local is a cashless site, everyday banking transactions will need to be completed at the local Post Office.
Commenting on the new service James Wild MP said:
“It was a pleasure to officially open the new Barclays Local service which offers access to customers with a range of banking needs. With around 100 customers a week, it is demonstrating the continuing importance of face to face services and advice for customers on banking, savings, mortgages, fraud, and other issues.”
