📢 Big Changes for Santander Customers in Wales! 🏦
Heads up, folks! Santander is set to close six branches across Wales come spring. 📅 This decision comes as more and more of us are turning to digital banking options, with a whopping 96% of transactions now happening online. 💻📱
Here’s the scoop: As traffic declines in physical branches, Santander is shifting focus to Community Bankers, ensuring you still have face-to-face support when needed. 🤝 But don’t worry, they’ll still be investing in a mix of full-service and counter-free branches, plus those fancy Work Cafés everyone talks about! ☕️
📍 Branch Closing Dates:
– Bangor – 64 Main Street, 29 April 2026
– Bridgend – 13 Adare Street, 12 May 2026
– Cwmbran – 11 North Walk, 13 May 2026
– Haverfordwest – 37 Bridge Street, 5 May 2026
– Merthyr Tydfil – 15 Market Square, 6 May 2026
– Mold – 31 High Street, 28 April 2026
But what does this mean for the bank’s staff? Around 291 jobs might be affected, though there are prospects for redeployment. 🌐
Why the change? Well, since 2019, digital transactions have shot up by 64%, while in-branch visits have dropped significantly. People are loving the convenience of managing money from their smartphones! 📈
Santander assures that, despite these closures, they’re committed to supporting customers however they choose to bank, whether digitally or in-person. Remember, it’s all about adapting to how we like to handle our finances! 💰
