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.

“When the Hub opens it will be invaluable to residents of Knaresborough, especially to those who rely on cash and face-to-face banking. “The confirmation of the location is a great step forward for the community, and I look forward to hearing more updates.”

Cash Access UK is an organisation set up to protect nationwide access to cash. Gareth Oakley, CEO at Cash Access UK:

“We know the new Banking Hub has been eagerly anticipated by the local community and so we’re delighted we’ve now been able to secure a fantastic location for you in the heart of the community. “This brings us a significant step closer in being able to deliver improved access to cash services to individuals and businesses in Knaresborough.”
