A new Barclays Local service to open in Kidsgrove

Barclays are due to close their Kidsgrove branch on 11 August and have confirmed a new Barclays Local service for customers in Kidsgrove will be available from Monday 14th August 2023 at Kidsgrove Sports Centre.

The Barclays Local will provide face to face support for customers, with colleagues on hand offering financial support and education for customers, without the need to travel.  The opening times are as follows:-

Monday, Tuesday and Friday (09.30 – 12.30, 13.00 – 16.00)

Barclays is committed to deploying a range of more flexible ways that customers can physically interact with the bank. The bank has opened over 230 Barclays Locals around the country, in community locations such as town halls and community centres, where customers can drop in or make pre-appointments with colleagues. Customers are also supported by a fleet of Barclays vans which travel to more remote areas.

A Barclays spokesperson said: 

“We’re pleased to be able to confirm the location of a new Barclays Local in Kidsgrove.  This service is for those customers who wish to have an in-person banking presence by offering the ability to visit Barclays, albeit in a different environment.”

Customers visiting the Barclays Local will be able to access a wide range of services including financial reviews, balance requests, support with open savings accounts and with digital banking.  As the Barclays Local site is a cashless site, everyday banking transactions will need to be completed at the local Post Office.

Barclays continues to review and adjust its branch footprint to ensure it reflects the way customers are increasingly choosing to do their banking.  We work with the local community to find different, more flexible, and sustainable ways, for our colleagues to provide local banking support for customers to talk to us and aren’t yet ready or able to make the transition to digital.
