High-tech cash machines at revamped bank

THE LATEST technology is to be installed at a Wokingham bank when it reopens following a refurbishment.

HSBC in Market Place closed its Market Place branch on Monday, for a two-week period.

The aim is to reopen on Tuesday, February 27, and when it does not only will there be a fresh look to the bank, but there will also be some of the newest cash machines in the country.

The project will also include internal building work to enhance the centre for its users.

The bank is keen to reassure customers that it is staying in the town, and that during the temporary closure there are alternative options including banking at the Post Office or visiting branches in Reading and Bracknell.

It will also hold pop-up sessions in Wokingham Library.

An HSBC UK spokesperson: “We continue to invest in our branch network to make our customers’ experience banking with us a good one.

“We are pleased that our Wokingham branch is getting a refresh, with some painting, new signage, and the installation of new state-of-the-art cash machines, which we are excited about.

“We have been talking to customers about the temporary closure for the last month, and while we are having the work done people can continue to use their nearest Post Office for day-to-day transactions, plus mobile and online banking is available 24/7 in addition to being able to call our contact centre.

“Customers can find the best number on the back of their debit or credit card.

“We will also be hosting Community Pop Up Events at Wokingham Library, Carnival Hub, Wellington Road, Wokingham, RG40 2AF where we will be on hand to support customers.

“We will be there today (Thursday, February 15), from 9.30am to 12.30pm.

“Customers can also continue to use any of our branch with Bracknell being the closest branch.”
