Don’t bank on service

SANTANDER has closed my local branch, which means that if I wish to speak to a real person and not a computer, I have to travel some distance.

It’s a strange business where the customer’s needs come second to a bank’s need for ever greater profit.

T. BEVERLEY, London SW10. DON’T be fooled by the Government’s crocodile tears about bank branches closing and lack of access to cash.

The destruction of the black economy so every aspect of our lives can be monitored and controlled is just what politicians want.
