A ‘COMPROMISE’ by a bank after it announced a branch closure on Skye has been well received by the island’s MSP and her constituents.
Kate Forbes believes Bank of Scotland’s promise to offset the closure of its Broadford branch by providing more regular visits from its mobile bank is a step in the right direction. She hopes the move will increase cash deposit and access facilities, particularly for customers unable to make the nine-mile trip from Kyle or those who have difficulty accessing online banking.
The MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch said: ‘Though I am sorry to see the branch close its doors, it’s good news that the mobile bank will be visiting Broad-ford on a much more regular basis.’
