Online banking may be contributing to a number of bank closures throughout the country, but NatWest are about to buck the trend opening a new branch in two empty units in The Parade alongside the new Wilkinsons.
The new branch is expected to become a digitally-focused branch, designed to meet the needs and demands of customers around the clock.
It is expected the new NatWest will offer customers the opportunity to conduct their banking through a range of methods including online, mobile, phone, ATM and cash deposit machine with the provision of free Wi-Fi in branch and access to iPads so that customers can register for and access online banking services.
With this afternoon’s announcement by Royal Bank of Scotland of 162 branches to close throughout England and Wales it is expected the branch on Commercial Road could close with RBS customers being advised their everyday banking needs can be met at their local NatWest.
Are you going to do a piece on NatWest saying how they’ve shut every other branch in Swindon and many surrounding Swindon ?
Also that there are no tellers to deal with private accounts and surly fed up staff.
Absolute crap service.
Oh my goodness, it’s useless. They closed down small helpful branches with counters, but only one open in Swindon doesn’t have a counter. Just school leavers with clip boards who don’t know anything
Rubbish needed a proper service…not a put in a machine service ….after 20 years am switching from Nat West to nationwide..a massive town ..and Nat west have one bank with NO counter service ..rubbish
