Guy Opperman MP news: Guy Opperman launches campaign for mobile banking services in Northumberland
Local MP, Guy Opperman has launched a campaign calling for better access to physical banking facilities in his rural constituency.
Guy Opperman met with representatives at Barclays to persuade them to rollout their mobile banking vans across Tynedale and Ponteland.
The vans provide banking services to people who prefer to use in-person banking facilities rather than online banking.
The MP has also written to the Chief Executives of Lloyds, NatWest and HSBC, to ask them to rollout mobile and pop up facilities to their customers too in Northumberland.
Guy Opperman MP said:
“Access to cash and in-person banking are vital services to residents who may not be able to access online banking.
I would encourage all banks with customers across Tynedale and Ponteland to rollout services that will benefit their customers.
We must retain in-person banking facilities for our rural areas!”
