How will RBS branch closures affect you? Tell MPs your views

These latest round of closures do not affect me as I switched my RBS account to another bank. Otherwise I had no branch near me.
However, I know people who bank with them in the Highlands and they are affected.
My concern is small businesses and older people who won't even see something like this.
Perhaps banks should be forced to explain, not just about post office and online banking, but also about the switch service. They should also point out which other banks have nearby branches. The people I know in the Highlands are now looking at the Bank of Scotland and TSB as they still have branches.0 -
RBS killing rural communities, didn't close branches when us the tax payers were bailing them out but now for the first time in how long they are well in profit and not caring about their loyal customers who stood by them. Sickens me.0

Thank you for all of your comments - the Scottish Affairs Committee will use your responses to inform their questioning of RBS.
The Committee is holding an evidence session on the proposed RBS branch closures on Wednesday 17 January from 9.30am. They'll be hearing from senior executives from RBS as well as the Post Office and others and you can watch live on parliamentlive.tv. Alternatively a transcript of the meeting will be published on our website shortly afterwards and can be found here.Official Organisation Representative
