Barclays customers in Ebbw Vale, this one's for you.
Barclays have written to me to say they are pulling out of their cashless community site at the Learning Action Centre on James Street. The last day there will be Friday 26 February 2027.
They are not leaving town altogether. Once the new Shared Banking Hub opens, a Barclays member of staff will be there every Tuesday.
What else you need to know
Barclays will write to recent users of the James Street site 12 weeks before it closes. Their local team will contact vulnerable customers directly. If you would rather talk in Welsh, their Welsh-language line is 0333 202 7450, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Worried about how you'll bank, or know someone who isn't online? Get in touch through the contact form on this site and I'll pass it on to Barclays and chase it up. Please share this with older neighbours and family who might miss it.
Cllr Jonathan Millard, Independent, Ebbw Vale South
