Clueless American here. I saw a commercial for Nationwide bank promising the keep their branches open until at least 2028. Is there a push to close banks? Is this more fallout from Brexit?

I agree to a point - but not everyone wants to do stuff over the phone - some business is better done face to face.

Shopkeepers had to drive to a bank, where ever that may be, now that Hertford branches are closing as well, that may be Welwyn Garden City, Bishops Stortford or Harlow. And with Hertford being the county town - I think that's pretty piss poor.

The banking hub is a great idea, but two years so far and sod all.
