NatWest to close Port Sunlight's last bank with 'no thought for older people'

The last bank in a Wirral village is set to close as NatWest shut up shop at 60 stores across the nation.

The Port Sunlight branch of NatWest will end its stay in the picturesque town on Tuesday, September 20. NatWest said that the reason behind the closure is the rise in people using online banking and the decline of people using their services in-store and over the counter.

Port Sunlight is only one of 60 branches across the country which includes the branch at Hunts Cross, which are set to close later this year. The decision has been met with an outcry from customers concerned that it was made with 'no thought for older people' who are unfamiliar with online banking.
