NEW banking hubs have been opened in Redruth and Hayle this week.

Cash Access UK, the organisation set up to protect access to cash across the UK, has opened a temporary home for the banking hub in both Redruth, located in Units 5 & 6 Market Way on Market Strand, and in Hayle, situated at the Passmore Edwards Institute on Hayle Terrace.

Customers of all major banks can visit any weekday between 9am-5pm to carry out regular cash transactions including cash withdrawals and deposits as well as checking balances or paying bills.

Additionally, the hubs also offer a community banker service where customers can talk to their own bank in a private space on the day their bank is in the hub:

Redruth branch:

Hayle branch:

The two new branches bring the total number of hubs in Cornwall to six, following earlier openings in Bodmin, Helston, Looe and Saltash. Work is also progressing to open hubs in Bude, Falmouth and Newquay.

Gareth Oakley, CEO at Cash Access UK, said: “I’m happy to announce that we have opened the new banking hub in Redruth and Hayle, giving local residents renewed access to cash and in-person banking services. The hub is available for everyday banking transactions every day of the week, and for more specific or complex enquiries, a community banker will be on-site to assist on designated days.”

Cllr Stephen Barnes, mayor of Redruth, said: “It’s been a long journey to bring a Banking Hub to Redruth so it’s very exciting that it’s now opened. The services that will now be available to our residents like paying bills and discussing money matters with someone from their own bank will make a real difference to people’s lives and we’re really grateful to Cash Access UK for getting the Banking Hub open so quickly. Thanks also to the Town Council officers for all their hard work in getting a Banking Hub facility secured.”
