“The digital route is wholly unsatisfactory for 31 per cent of over-65s in the country who feel uncomfortable with the idea of online banking due to a fear of fraud, lack of trust in online banking services and lack of necessary IT skills. These are all legitimate concerns which must be taken into account by banks when considering the needs of their customers.
However, the decision is final and the Rutherglen branch will close on September 24, whilst its East Kilbride counterpart will shut its doors on October 1.
