Banking services will soon be returning to Whitehill & Bordon as a new banking hub is set to open in April.
After a campaign by East Hampshire District Council and former MP Damian Hinds – supported by our new MP Greg Stafford – the new service is being brought to town by not-for-profit group Cash Access UK.
It will open first in a temporary location in The Shed while a permanent site is sought and will offer services from the following banks.
Monday – Lloyds
Tuesday – HSBC
Wednesday – Barclays
Thursday – NatWest
Friday – Santander

Cllr Andy Tree, EHDC Portfolio Holder for Whitehill & Bordon, said:
“I am delighted the banking hub is finally coming.
“EHDC has supported both Damian Hinds MP, who initiated the scheme, and then Greg Stafford MP, who took over as the MP for Whitehill & Bordon after the election in July.
“It’s great to see this hard work coming to fruition for local residents who have been without any access to a high street bank since the closure of the Lloyds branch in 2017.”
Greg Stafford MP said:
“I am hugely pleased that residents will soon benefit from access to a new Banking Hub at The Shed before it later moves to a dedicated permanent location.
“The area has been without a bank since 2017 and following the success of the existing Hub in Haslemere, I know how much of a difference this will make to those that rely on in-person services, especially local charities and small businesses.”
