Julian secures visit from Barclays Van for Haxby branch customers
August 22, 2022
Following the disappointing decision by Barclays to close their branch in Haxby, York Outer MP Julian Sturdy has secured a visit by the Barclays Van to assist the community as they transition to not having over-the-counter services in town.
A team from Barclays will be at Haxby Memorial tomorrow with appointment slots available to book online. They will be answering questions about how customers can get the most out of their account through the Barclays app and advising on alternatives to in-branch services.
Despite the loss of the bank branch, Haxby residents will still have access to cash via the three ATMs within one kilometre of the branch as well as being able to withdraw cash and deposit cheques at the Post Office.
Speaking ahead of the Barclays Van visit, Julian said:
“Following Barclays’ announcement last month to close their Haxby branch, I met with their Customer Care Director to demand if they would not reconsider the branch’s future that they put in place comprehensive plans so the impact to their customers in minimised.
While the Post Office can cover most day-to-day services, I was keen to ensure Barclays staff still regularly visit the community to cover bespoke services offered by the bank.
I am looking forward to meeting the Barclays team tomorrow and encourage any constituents who are unsure of how they’re going to manage their banking needs once the branch closes to book an appointment”
