A “SUPER-ATM” will be installed in Leigh allowing people to withdraw and deposit money with multiple banks.
Cash Access UK, who are behind the initiative, have already installed a device in Atherstone, Warwickshire, and are now setting out to test it elsewhere.
Leigh, as well as Billericay, will be part of the “Super ATM” trial with exact location set to be revealed “very soon”.
This news follows a wave of bank closures, both in Leigh, and nationally.
The “Super ATM” allows access to cash services such as withdrawals, balance inquiries, and PIN management for customers of all major banks.
They also offer free cash deposits for customers of Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Halifax, Lloyds, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Ulster Bank, with further additions expected soon.
Coun Daniel Cowan, leader of Southend Council, said: “This is very welcome news for our city.
“The ability to pay with, withdraw, and deposit cash is vital to so many people and small businesses as well.
“The loss of cash banking facilities in High Streets across the country has had a detrimental effect on small businesses and has excluded many people from participating in their economy.
“I am sure this will be a great success for Leigh and I hope to see more of these across the city.”
