LLOYDS Bank's new mobile service parked up in Fairford for the first time today (Wednesday, April 5).
The banking group closed its permanent branch on November 8, leaving the town without a High Street bank.
However, following discussions with the town council, Lloyds launched the mobile service, to be stationed in the Market Place, for short periods of time on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Lloyds is also closing its nearby Highworth branch on April 9 – with the two towns to share the new service.
Personal customers will be able to use the mobile branch to make deposits, withdraw cash and pay bills.
Staff in the mobile branch will also help customers to use online banking and to make general account enquiries.
Business customers will also have access to basic services such as making deposits and withdrawing cash.
The full times for the Fairford branch are:
- Monday 1pm-2.15pm
- Wednesday 9.30am-11am
- Friday 9.30am-11.15am
Lloyds are set to launch a number of mobile branches to help customers in more rural communities across the country.
