   The anchors don’t seem concerned or interested about the situation 🤷🏽‍♂️

   The comment by the woman at the end is ridiculous. "This is why you can't close branches." Wrong. The number of people doing what she did on a regular basis is small and it is falling. That is why branches are closing, and she is also incorrect that you need to go into a branch to pay in cheques.

   Is there a case for subsidising things so that the small section of society which does use branches can continue to bank in person? Yes. However that would be on a collective basis, NOT an individual bank basis. One branch facility serving all high street banks.

   We are now at the point where the last generation using bank branches in significant numbers are dying off. Even if they're not dying off yet a significant further proportion of them are now disabled to the point where they can't actually go out and use bank branches, further reducing the footfall. Certainly you have to be north of 75 for a significant proportion of an age group to still be using bank branches. It may even have reached the point where it's north of 80 now. This is demographic reality and no amount of wishful thinking will change it.

   Under a Central Bank Digital Currency High Street Banks will still have a Future… The Big High Street Banks are shareholders in the Privately Owned Central Banking System ….. This System is Totally Corrupt and Rigged against the Ordinary Hard Working Person,,, Rigged so they Can Steal Your Hard Earned Money including Pensions……
   The Central Banks and their Crony Friends (All Communists in Disguise working towards a One Government World,- for Total Control) Already Control Virtually everything Corporate and Most Governments of note, Anything they Don't Own they Dictate Too… Remember – They Who Control the Money Control the World – Every Aspect…. Through Blackmail, Coercion, Threats, False Promises, Lies you name it and they Use the IMF, BIS, the World Bank, United Nations, WTO, WHO, the EU and the List goes on……
   If we allow a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and a Central Bank or Government Digital I.D. one or both, We Will Have Made Their Wildest Dreams Come True, ensuring their Wealth and Power Giving Them Total and Complete Control over the Masses/People……
   Do Not Allow This to Happen……. You Will Have No Privacy, No Real Rights and No Choice in Many Things… You will be Forever Enslaving Yourself, Your Children and There Children…. You Really Will End Up Owning Nothing, Eating Bugs and Losing so much more, Forget Holidays and Having Your Own Transport/Car ect… Your Life will become a Nightmare and it will not turn out to be a dream…… They will Know Everything about You, and I do mean Everything and if they do not like something you do or say, with the press of a button they can wipe you off, out of existence, in many ways – ie they could change your identity and make You there Most Wanted Criminal, if they want… They Could/Will have a lot of fun at your Expense… Whatever they want to do to you they can….
   Do Not Forget This…… Forget at your own Peril… and your Family's……
   Mark my words…. They will Offer you Everything they Can to Get You to Accept their CBDC…
   They will Promise More Money, Benefits Everything they Can… it will All be Lies and False Promises…. Once they Have the CBDC accepted by the People… it's Game Over …… –
   You are Totally Fu.kedd

   Co op, Halifax, HSBC and Lloyds closed in my town with the loss of their cashpoints.all saying we could bank at the post office. Now that is going too! And we have a higher than average number of pensioners living here. I changed bank twice and still don't have any branch. Banking online isn't an option for many people. It leaves the vulnerable open to being scammed. Let's face it, if Jim Browning can get scammed what hope is there for someone in the early stages of dementia?

   Those cheques could have been paid in online; this woman wasted shoe leather going to a bank.

    All very well until they demand you turn up in person with several forms of ID at a branch 15 miles away – or they close your account.

    WHY is it so many people don't see the truth of the Bible NOW? 2000 years ago- it says a day would come- global govt, military, & global CURRENCY. Money will be thrown in the streets- worthless, & a number used to buy or sell by everyone. NO exceptions. A global religion. The elites on Mt. Sinai, with 2 tablets of " climate repentance"? Is that not ENOUGH? GOD WARNED US, & the coming ANTICHRIST will enforce the mark of the beast- altering not only your DNA, but your FREE WILL. No ability to choose after that!
    Covid was the trial run. Look how many free people bowed to it!
    No computers existed 2000 years ago- using one number to a person for money was humanly inconceivable then! That came from God. Jesus is the ONLY safety, the only escape. Run to Him, give your life to Him now, while there's time.

    Its sad to see banks disappearing in the high streets but its the same situation with shops if people do not use them they close. The vast majority of customers do their banking online. Its difficult for people that do not have access to internet & small businesses that use them for banking takings.

    Why that long? With careful planning they could be obsolete in 12 months.

    What a completely ludicrous suggestion.
    In 2010 they said cheques would be obsolete within five years.
    In 2013 they said cash would be obsolete within a decade.
    When cars were invented they didn't abolish bikes or horses

    When they get rid of money and go fully digital there will be no need for high street banks. Been years since I've stepped in one anyway.

    We are being forced to use cards not cash, it's all a plan, and we have no choice. My bank closed last year, which meant I would have to go into town to sort anything out with the bank, which I can't do because I'm disabled. So I closed my account with them, and went to a different bank.

    If the banking system starts to crash, you won't be able to draw out your cash because all the local bank branches have closed.

    I want to go to my bank, get money out / print a statement in-between the one sent & use CASH! I use a savings account for some money but do still use banks. More unemployment on tellers IF the banks are stupid enough to close.

    I used to, many years ago, hate going into my bank just in case the manager saw me and asked me to start banking with them rather than the other way round.
