New banking hub in Ossett will be officially opened on Friday

A new banking hub in Ossett will be officially opened on Friday (July 12), it has been confirmed.

Cash Access UK said the facility will be opened at the Wellgate shopping arcade by Wakefield mayor Darren Byford.

The not-for-profit organisation was set up by major UK banks and building societies to protect nationwide access to cash.

The hubs offer over-the-counter services, including accessing and depositing cash, in communities without any remaining banks.

It is the second hub to be set up in West Yorkshire, following the opening of a facility in Otley.

Gareth Oakley, chief executive of Cash Access UK: “I’m delighted to announce the opening of the second banking hub in West Yorkshire which will provide the local community with access to cash and face-to-face services.

“We’re delighted to have councillor Darren Byford joining us to celebrate the opening.”
