Finding the right location for a Banking Hub that is convenient, accessible and works for everyone often takes time so, Cash Access UK is delighted to have been able to secure a convenient premise within the heart of the community. This development is a significant step forward in bringing a Banking Hub to Brechin.
The team at Cash Access UK are now working hard to fit out the new premises and will update the community on progress and an opening date as soon as they can. The Brechin Banking Hub page on the Cash Access UK website will provide updates as works progress.
Gareth Oakley, CEO at Cash Access UK, said: “We are delighted to announce that a location has been secured for the new Banking Hub. We know the Hub has been anticipated by the local community. This brings us closer to ensuring access to cash services to individuals and businesses in Brechin.”
