And how many places are losing their Post Offices as well. My town has lost its Post office. And there was always a queue for it when it was open.I'm sorry to read about your brother. Banks aren't charities though. They still have to pay business rates, rent, wages and utilities bills. The footfall in our town centre is non existent, more and more is being done online. I speak to a lot of retired people for my job role and they are better online than I am. Times change and we have to keep up. I'm sure you can pay money into bank accounts via a local postoffice, our village post office offers the service.
Banks aren't charities, but they are regulated by govt we have a right to demand govt make sure cash doesn't go out of use.
