MP encourages customers to drop in
Following the closure of the Billericay branch of HSBC, John Baron MP has today welcomed news that HSBC will be holding pop up events at Billericay Library on 6th and 9th October. John met with HSBC representatives following the branch closure announcements earlier this year and agreed that HSBC would hold pop up events for 6 months after the closure. HSBC will review this further with John after the 6 month period ends. Further pop up events will be announced in due course.
Branch experts will be on hand to give guidance and support and offer important advice on how to reduce the risk of fraud on your account and the services available at the Post Office. The team will also be on hand to help with queries about our products and services. For those registered for digital banking, staff can also help with making payments up to £25,000 to new or existing beneficiaries within the UK, making an international payment, creating, amending or deleting standing orders, viewing or cancelling Direct Debits, viewing statements, reporting lost, stolen or damaged cards and depositing cheques up to £500.
John said:
“I am pleased that HSBC has heeded the call for an in person banking presence once the Billericay branch has closed. Not every customer is able or wants to deal with their banking needs online and it is important that HSBC does not leave those customers behind. I would encourage customers to go along to these pop ups – continuation of which beyond the 6 month trial period will largely depend on use.”
