MORE FROM BARCLAYS BANK ABOUT ITS DECISION TO CLOSE BRIGG BRANCH

Barclays has now provided Brigg Blog with further information relating to the New Year 2022 closure of its branch in the Market Place.
It says local staff will be offered other roles with the bank. The company has also confirmed that letters have been sent to inform its Brigg customers about the closure. 

Barclays tells us...
The Brigg branch will close on Friday 21st January 2022 and the next nearest branch is available at 81 High Street, Scunthorpe.
The role of the physical branch is evolving, with fewer than 10% of transactions now taking place inside a branch.
Customers have a wide range of options to complete their banking including the Barclays app, Telephone Banking, Online Banking, Video Banking.
Everyday transactions can be completed at the Post Office.
We are committed to adhering to the UK Access to Banking Standard. All of our customers will receive a letter, our decision to close document and posters will be displayed in branch, and colleagues will be on hand to assist customers with any concerns they may have.
We will be proactively engaging with local businesses and the wider community to discuss the alternative ways customers will be able to undertake their banking locally.
We will be offering virtual ‘tea and teach’ sessions for customers wishing to explore digital banking and other alternatives to branch based banking.
We will still have an active presence in the community via new and alternative touch points including the Barclays Van.
We do not intend to make anyone redundant as a result of this closure. Colleagues working at Brigg branch will be offered alternative roles in the bank.
