Barclays has been slammed by regulators and consumer groups for opting out of a deal that lets customers withdraw cash at UK Post Offices - with the move expected to disproportionally hurt those who rely on cash or who live in rural areas.
From the end of January, Barclays customers will not be able to take out cash at their local Post Offices. However, they will still be able to pay in cash and cheques as well as check their account balances. Barclays says that it is ending the Post Office service because it is taking action elsewhere: promising to freeze branch closures for the next two years where the site is a 'Last in Town' option or a remote branch.
