Principality Building Society has further expanded its access to cash initiative in locations where high street banks no longer have a presence in Wales.
In a partnership with shared banking innovator OneBanX, it is providing a new access to cash offer at its Maesteg branch. The cash service kiosk is the mutual’s fourth with OneBanX alongside those Cowbridge, Caerphilly and Buckley.
The service enables individuals and business customers of most major banks and building societies to deposit and withdraw cash without needing to use a card. There is no charge for the service and funds are immediately available to the customer. The service is also available in the Welsh language.
Customers will be able to access the kiosk during branch opening times six days a week, supported by Principality branch colleagues.
While cash usage has declined in recent years it is still use for around 12% of all payments in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ.
Kelly Young, head of savings customer services at Principality Building Society, said:
“I’m so pleased to announce Principality’s fourth installation of a OneBanx kiosk, this time in our Maesteg branch.
“Our members tell us that access to cash and essential services makes a real difference - it keeps the high street vibrant and gives our members, colleagues, and communities confidence.
