Bank closed to allow essential refurb inside
A TOWN centre bank has now closed “for a little while” to allow for an essential refurb and will reopen in just over a week’s time.
The HSBC in Market Street has closed temporarily while it undergoes a refresh, which includes internal building work, and is expected to re-open on Monday, March 11 at 9.30am.
A sign in the door informs customers: “See you soon. We’re closing for a little while for essential maintenance.
“We are sorry we needed to close this branch for improvements from 2pm on Friday, February 16 and will reopen at 9.30am on Monday, March 11.
“Your nearest HSBC branch is 49 Market Street, Lichfield or you can access your remote banking wherever you are with our mobile banking app, on our website at hsbc. co.uk, or over the phone.
“Customers can also access some of our services at your nearest Post Office.”
This follows a commitment from the bank not to announce any new branch closures in 2024.
An HSBC UK spokesperson told the Herald: “We continue to invest in our branch network to make our customers’ experience banking with us a good one. We are pleased that our Tamworth branch is getting a refresh, with some painting, new signage and the installation of new state-of-the-art cash machines, which we are excited about.
“We have been talking to customers about the temporary closure for the last month, and while we are having the work done people can continue to use their nearest Post Office for day to day transactions, plus mobile and online banking is available 24/7 in addition to being able to call our contact centre. Customers can find the best number on the back of their debit or credit card.
“We have also been hosting community pop up events at Tamworth Library on Wednesday, 21st February and Wednesday, 28th February from 9.30-3pm. Customers can also continue to use any of our branches with Lichfield branch being the closest branch.”
