New ‘banking hub’ set to open in Frome after bank branches closed

FROME will soon be home to a new banking hub – in a bid to replace closed outlets in the town.

The Westway Shopping Centre has confirmed a new premises run by Cash Access UK – complete with a cash machine – will open in the coming weeks.

“After much speculation, we can finally confirm that a brand-new Cash Access UK Banking Hub is coming to Westway Shopping Centre,” a spokesperson said.

“We’ve had to remain tight-lipped until everything was signed off, but the lease is now complete, and we’re excited to share the news.

“And yes, an ATM is confirmed too. We know this has been one of the most requested things in your comments, so we’re really pleased to make it happen. We’ll keep you updated as things progress.”

Banking hubs operate counter services from big-name banks, usually on a rota basis, providing a place for customers to bank in person, rather than online.

By the end of last year, all big-name bank branches in Frome had closed, including HSBC, Barclays and NatWest, which shut in 2023. TSB shut in March this year.
