Kyneton’s National Australia Bank branch will close on July 6.
NAB retail customer executive, Larna Manson, said that over the past few years, fewer customers were going into branches to do their banking.
“Nearly 60 per cent of our Kyneton customers have only visited the branch once in the last 12 months, and more than 74 per cent are already using other branches,” Ms Manson said.
“The Kyneton team will now be helping customers who need additional support with digital banking and also introducing them to the Bank@Post service next door on Mollison Street.
“It’s important to us that there will be no job losses as part of this change – our branch team will be provided new opportunities across NAB including additional support in the NAB Gisborne branch.”
NAB Kyneton will continue operating Monday-Friday, 9.30am-12.30pm, until the closure on Thursday July 6.
Customers in Kyneton and surrounds will continue to be serviced by their agribusiness, business or small business banker, as they are today.
NAB’s renewed Bank@Post partnership with Australia Post provides a face-to-face alternative at Australia Post outlets across the country where they can conduct a range of banking services including deposits up to $9999 and withdrawals up to $2000 per day.
Under the 10-year agreement, both personal and business customers are able to access this service.
