The Co-op has reconfirmed its commitment to backing Britain’s high streets and communities with a new cash hub in the High Street Crowthorne Co-op
The Berkshire store now provides a counter service operated by the Post Office, where customers of all major banks can visit any weekday between 9am-5pm to carry out regular cash transactions.
The cash hub is one of several solutions delivered by Cash Access UK to ensure continued cash access across the country.
Last year, it partnered with Co-op to open its first Hub within a convenience store setting, located in Co-op’s Treorchy convenience store in South Wales.
Gareth Oakley, CEO at Cash Access UK, said: “We know how important access to cash continues to be and the cash hub is an ideal solution for locations like Crowthorne.
“A big thanks to the Co-op for allowing us to take over the unused space in their premises so that residents and local business can access these essential services in a central and convenient location.”
Peter Swallow, MP for Bracknell, Crowthorne, Sandhurst and Whitegrove, said: “I’m delighted that Crowthorne’s Cash Hub is finding a permanent home in the Co-op. It’s so important for the success of our high streets that, as life becomes ever more digital, local residents and businesses have access to cash.”
Gary Williams, director of format, innovation and store optimisation at Co-op, added: “We’re delighted to again partner with Cash Access UK and to work with them to unveil their latest cash hub.
“We work to ensure our stores are more than just a shop, we aim to create a destination in communities combining great quality products, value and deals along with a range of added services - all at the heart of local community life.”
