24/7 Free-To-Use ATMs A MUST In EVERY Community - And In ALL The Required 1200 Banking Hubs!

The pressure builds on Scotlands two dismal banks - Royal Bank of Scotland and Bank of Scotland - and on LINK Scheme Ltd, whose attempts to defend the indefensible are, quite frankly, pathetic.

This is a brilliant in depth report by Martin Williams - Scotlands Financial/Business Journalist of the Year - in the The Herald Scotland, with invaluable insights from Adam Stachura at Age Scotland.

The Scottish Banks are trying to dodge their responsibilities to the Scottish public - their CUSTOMERS - and are leaving it to other organisations, such as Post Office Ltd and Mutuals like Nationwide Building Society, to save communities around Scotland.

IT IS A DISGRACE.

Some gent from LINK Scheme Ltd has the cheek to say “If any community thinks it has a problem, it can contact LINK directly and we can take a closer look."

Why the hell should the public have to appeal to LINK Scheme Ltd?

If LINK Scheme Ltd can’t see the problems throughout Scotland themselves, they are NOT competent to meet the cash needs of the Scottish - OR UK - public.

The Payment Choice Alliance YouGov survey has revealed that the vast majority of UK adults completely reject the idea that post office counters - and, by implication , Banking Hubs without ATMs - can provide them with convenient access to cash in their local communities.

24/7 ATMs are what the public WANT and NEED.

LINK Scheme Ltd has overseen the ripping out of over 40% of the UKs free-to-use 24/7 ATMs - over 20,000 ATMs - in recent years.

That decimination of ATM services and convenient cash access has directly led to a reduction in cash use, which LINK Scheme Ltd would have us believe is a “natural phenomenon”…

The Scottish - and UK - public have had enough of the prevarication and procrastination.

They WILL retain 24/7 ATM cash access in EVERY community AND they WILL get the minimum of 1200 Bankimg Hubs - with 24/7 ATMs and full face-to-face banking advice services - required to replace the 7000 plus UK bank branches lost since 2015 alone.

WE STAND WITH THE PUBLIC.
