born_again said:HSBC are all about profit & keeping the stakeholders happy. Government should have not allowed banks to give dividends again. Staff are not getting bonuses, despite having to work throughout lockdowns. So why should shareholders get a payout...
It's time that the banks got together and decided on one building in a town that they all shared. Would give everyone who needed branch access and more importantly for the bean counters a nice money saving
Would guess it would stop a lot of people leaving one bank for another as the branches close & the I want to bank in branch group carry on.1 -
Yes, there should be far more bankers bonuses available, what could possibly go wrong......0

Sadly the PO just does not cut it.
Would be no profit selling banks products to gulliblel punters, opps sorry I meant "Meet customers needs".....Life in the slow lane0 -
Regionally Felixstowe is going (can understand), Colchester is going (can't understand) and Ipswich staying.
About the only thing I've done in branch past couple ofyears that I personally couldn't do via Post Office was get a replacement physical secure key. You can get them posted but I wanted one quickly.0 -

Lots of people still visit my local HSBC.4 -
I actually prefer paying in cash at a Post Office, it's so quick all you need is a debit card.
In Branch you have to fill out a pay in slip which TBH I find old fashioned and wasteful.1 -

You might find that you have to put your debit card into a card reader, enter your pin and hand over the money to the cashier.2 -
