Gloucestershire towns to lose vital bank branches
There will be just one bank left in Moreton- in-Marsh after it was confirmed that the town’s branch of TSB was one of the 82 that are closing as part of a cost-cutting exercise. Stroud will also be losing it’s branch of TSB as part of the cuts that have seen the bank who have an operations centre in Barnwood seek to restructure following a series of costly IT gaffes. Since the takeover by Spanish banking giant Sabadell in 2015, TSB has been hit by a series of computing problems that has left customers unable to access funds for periods of time. Investment in their online operations will attempt to rectify those problems but it will force the closure of the 82 branches.TSB CEO Debbie Crosbie said: "With a trusted brand, modern platform, and national
presence, TSB is well placed to deliver - but we need to make changes to enable us to compete."The plan we're sharing today involves some difficult decisions, but it sets TSB up to succeed in the future. Taken together, these changes will help us to serve more customers, better, for the long-term." The Moreton-in-Marsh TSB branch will close in May while the Stroud branch will shut in June. It will leave Lloyds as the only bank in Moreton, following HSBC closing their branch in 2017 l
