New Banking Hub to open on High St.

We are delighted to share the news that the Temporary Banking Hub for Gorseinon will be opening by the end of the second week in September serving the local community.

The Temporary Banking Hub will be located at:

Address: 20 High Street, Gorseinon, Swansea, SA4 4BX

Opening hours: 9am-5pm

The Temporary Banking Hub has been introduced to ensure the community continues to have access to essential cash and banking services while work progresses towards establishing a permanent Banking Hub.

Customers can access a range of everyday banking services, including:

· Cash withdrawals and cash deposits (personal and business banking).

· Balance enquiries.

· Bill payments.

· Cheque deposits.

· Change-giving services for small businesses.

In addition, Community Bankers from participating banks will be available on dedicated days throughout the week to provide customers with more specialist banking support, including account enquiries and assistance with a range of banking services.

The Temporary Banking Hub will continue to serve the community until the permanent Banking Hub is ready to open. We will provide further updates on the permanent location as the project progresses.

Shop Local Shop Gorseinon

Gorseinon is the perfect place for shopping with a good mix of larger stores and unique local shops. All shops within short walking distance of each other and there is free parking and a well-connected bus station.

From a busy library to independent butchers, green grocers selling locally grown fruit and vegetables, welcoming cafes and speciality shops such as music outlets and the local knitting shop offering a cosy, social space to develop your knitting skills. Services such as opticians, hairdressers and barbers, and financial services are all located in this busy district centre.

Shopping locally is one of the things people can do to support their local economy and ensure jobs and money benefit their community. For example, if everyone in Gorseinon spent £5 extra each week in their local independent businesses, this would generate nearly £1m* a year for the Gorseinon economy.

Make a visit to this local centre to support your local traders.
