Tesco Bank Community (forums) closure

Tesco Bank has their own 'Community' i.e. web forums.


This friendly message is what appears on the front page (link to archive of page):

Community from Tesco Bank
Our door is always open, come on in.


Immediately above that is this message:

Community closure
We wanted to let you know we’ll be closing our Community site on 14 July.


I just thought the incongruity in the two messages was amusing - the door that is always open, except it's about to close permanently!

Presumably this is a result of a review of operations following the recent takeover of (most of) Tesco Bank by Barclays.


Comments

  • It's always open whilst it's available, I'd guess...

    Tesco Bank is now a trading name of Barclays Bank rather than Tesco Personal Finance - TPF seems to still be owned by Tesco but no longer has a banking license so likely have no interest in maintaining a banking forum with it's former brand.
