A new banking hub has opened at Enfield’s Ordnance Unity Centre Library by Cash Access UK, an organisation set up to protect nationwide access to cash.
Located on Hertford Road, the hub was officially welcomed to Enfield by the Leader of Enfield Council, Cllr Ergin Erbil and the MP for Enfield North, Feryal Clark, on 17 January.
Cash Access UK is operated by the Post Office and offers residents a counter service to carry out regular cash transactions, deposit cheques, pay utility bills and more.
It also offers a Community Banker service where residents can talk to major high street banks about more complicated issues on their allocated day. To know which bank is available on what day, click here.
Cllr Ergin Erbil, the Leader of Enfield Council, said: “It is important banking services remain personal to ensure those with accessibility needs can get help without any difficulties. This temporary banking hub at our library here ensures face-to-face cash and banking solutions, with exceptional support for customers, five days a week.”
The temporary hub will be open five days a week and services will be available until a suitable, permanent location is found.
Gareth Oakley, CEO of Cash Access UK, said: “I’m happy to announce that the new banking hub in Enfield North is now open, giving local residents renewed access to cash and in-person banking services. Customers can visit on any day of the week for their everyday banking transactions and if you have a specific or more complex enquiry for your bank, a community banker will be there to help on the day they’re in the hub. We're grateful that the library has provided us with this temporary space and we are looking forward to sharing positive news about the hub’s permanent location soon.”
Enfield Council is committed to creating a borough that offers accessible services that are much needed for local residents to access.
