New banking hub opens tomorrow at The Angel in Brigg

Residents and businesses in Brigg can from tomorrow, Friday 23 January, access face-to-face banking services locally at the new banking hub within The Angel community hub.

The new hub allows customers of all major banks to carry out everyday banking transactions in one convenient location, including cash withdrawals and deposits, balance checks and bill payments. The hub will also offer access to community bankers on designated days, providing private, in-person support for more complex banking queries.

The banking hub is delivered by Cash Access UK, the organisation established to protect access to cash and essential banking services in communities across the country.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “The opening of a new banking hub at The Angel in Brigg is a really positive step for the town, protecting access to face-to-face banking while strengthening a community hub that already brings together services, learning, heritage and social space in one place.

“We have been working with local MP Martin Vickers and the banking hub for months to secure a site and are continuing to secure a permanent site, which we hope will be done in the next couple of months.”

Located within The Angel, the banking hub sits alongside the existing community hub offer, which includes a café, library services and space run by Brigg Heritage Society – further strengthening the building’s role as a focal point for the town.

Cllr Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for safer, stronger communities (rural), said: “For many people and small businesses, especially in rural areas, access to local banking services really matters.

“Bringing a banking hub into an established community space in Brigg makes services easier to reach, supports the town centre, and helps people continue to manage their day-to-day finances locally.”

The hub will be open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, providing a practical solution for residents and local businesses who rely on access to cash and in-person banking, while supporting footfall and activity in Brigg town centre.

Residents can find out more about the services available at the banking hub, including community banker days, by visiting the Cash Access UK website.
