The value of these new community hubs will be whether they can offer access to financial services as well as access to cash. Setting aside private consultation rooms in the hubs sounds good in principle but these will not always be staffed. There is room for more ambition here to use new secure on-premise video banking to deliver advice and help around the clock as some other European banks are already adopting”
