AIB will not be providing cash services at five of their Dublin branches later this year.
At the minute, there are 22 branches nation-wide operating cash-free, focusing on account opening, financial planning, mortgages, loans, savings and investments. AIB said, "the cost of providing cash services has become increasingly unsustainable", as customers switch to digital banking.
The changes will see cash, ATM and cheque services removed from their 70 nation-wide branches. The bank assured customers will be able to withdraw and lodge cash at any post office.
Branches set to close will be doing so on September 30 or October 21. No Dublin branches will be closing on the earlier date but five are closing in October.
They are:
- Clonskeagh
Cornelscourt
An Post welcomed the development, saying it was "further deepening of the long-standing relationship between An Post and AIB. Never has the local post office been better placed as both a resource and a focus for renewal."
