In some cases, in smaller branches or where the banking hall is busy, customers might need to wait outside a branch in order to keep to safe distances inside.
The bank added that an alternative branch is available in Commercial Street, which is just around the corner from the Woolshops branch, and that customers can also use the Post Office for many of their everyday banking requirements, and continue to access their banking through online and telephone banking as usual.
