Treorchy is the latest location in Wales to get the go-ahead for a banking hub from LINK the UK’s Cash Access and ATM network. LINK, which is supported all the main UK banks, provides communities with continued access to cash and banking services when branches close.
The banking hub in the town is scheduled to open next year after the closure of its last high street banking branch in the town following a decision by Barclays.
LINK has recommended 52 banking hubs to date and there are currently four up and running across the UK at Brixham (Devon), Cambuslang (Lanarkshire), Cottingham (East Riding of Yorkshire) and Rochford (Essex). As well as Treorchy in Wales hubs have also been earmarked in Abergele, Porthcawl, Prestatyn and Welshpool.
