harpenden banking Hub latest news
Harpenden’s Banking Hub opened back in December 2024 at the Town Hall, Leyton Road, and it has already proven to be a very important asset to the Harpenden community.
Banking Hubs are centrally located, convenient spaces with professional, face to face counter services provided by the Post Office on behalf of Cash Access UK for many of the major high street banks. The Town Council led the campaign to establish a Banking Hub for close to three years, following the closure of Harpenden’s Banks. Our work included public engagement conducted in 2023 which highlighted that the lack of banks in the Town had significantly impacted local people and businesses with reduced High Street footfall and lack of accessible banking services.
The current offer at the Town Hall is an interim location for the Hub until permanent premises on the High Street are finalised. Read more about the Interim Banking Hub in our press release published in 2024.
The Hub is open Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. Residents, business, charities and community organisations are urged to use the service in the same way as their own bank to:
- Withdraw cash
- Pay in cash and cheques
- Check your balance
- Pay bills and make top ups
- Access change giving services (prearrangement may be required)
- Open an account
- Receive advice and support
In addition to the over the counter services detailed above, Community Bankers for five high street banks are also available to speak to in person, in a private space, for advice and assistance on the following days:
Monday – HSBC
Tuesday – Natwest
Wednesday – Santander
Thursday – Barclays
Friday – Lloyds
Community Banker appointments are offered on a first come, first served basis, but it is possible to prebook an appointment time in advance by contacting your bank directly.
You can find out more about Banking Hubs, including details about each of the services on offer on the Cash Access UK website.
