ANOTHER bank in Oxford has closed, with post offices nearby offering alternative banking provision.

HSBC's Headington branch on London Road closed for good today.

It comes after the bank shut its Summertown branch last month.

Post offices close to the bank on London Road, Atkyns Road and Downside Road however, will be providing banking services including deposits, free cash withdrawals and balance checks.

They will also offer face-to-face access to government services, bill payment, foreign currency, travel insurance and postal services.

There are currently 2,000 free-to-use ATMs installed across the UK post office network.

Post offices are proving vital to retaining people’s and business’s access to cash as the banks continue to desert the high street in order to cut costs and increase their profits.
