First look inside Knaresborough's new banking hub Knaresborough residents have been given a first look inside the town’s new Banking Hub. The Hub will soon be opening at 15 Kirkgate, offering a counter service operated by the Post Office. Customers of all major banks and building societies will be able to carry out regular cash transactions. It will also offer a Community Banker service where customers can talk to their own banking provider about more complicated issues, Monday to Friday, between 9am and 5pm. Community Bankers will work on rotation, with a different bank or building society available on each day of the week.
