My little market town still has HSBC, NatWest, Lloyds, Halifax, Nationwide (all of whom I have accounts with). I can't remember the last time I went in any of them though!

What a waste! They should close them and turn them into coffee shops and charity shops, like all the other town centres. 
There seems to be more coffee shops than people in my nearest town centre. I don't know how they all stay in business.

Just do what I did, go to more than one Post office.
But I have 7 bank accounts.
In the space of 90 minutes, I hit Beckenham main post office, a sub post office in Beckenham, Bellingham office, Downham and
Grove park. Cash from car sale.

First Direct changed to MasterCard under a previous Chef Executive who promised great things to come. Now that's he's history, and no great things have materialised, it wouldn't surprise me if First Direct moved back to Visa. 

I seem to recall quite a few cards went from Visa to Mastercard but there was never really an explanation. Did Visa increase their fees or something?
