To be honest most customers rarely or never enter the branch ,and that's the same with all banks.
With internet banking ,phone banking and ATM in the corner shop most off us don't need branches .Branch hours are useless for those off us that work all day ."Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many"0 -
