herne hilly Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 ohhh ggoodness, please NO, i despise starbucks with a passion. less and less places for me to go in ED. Used to pop into the HSBC to pay in the odd cheque to my first direct. Didn't know the post office could be used. Now need to find a po without long queues. This is such a shame !Sure Barclays will have closures soon. i went to the tulse hill branch it was so busy and the lady said it was because they had just closed the Norwood branch on westow hill.

BrandNewGuy Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hmmm, and the source of the Starbuck's scare? Probably not reliable. Calm down, dears.

Ron70 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 A Starbucks would be more use to me than a bank.... I like their coffee and their toasted cheese and ham sandwiches, lovely Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/79838-hsbc-dulwich-branch-is-closing/page/2/#findComment-917425 Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Barber Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I can't find any details about this on the HSBC website. I can find reports of about 30 branches closing with individual pdf files explaining why each of those branches is closing. But nothing about East Dulwich closing. Would expect them to follow the BBA code.

Tractorlad Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I heard a rumour that Cash Converters are interested in the site, a service that is desperately needed in ED!

Earl Aelfheah Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I've been with an online bank since around 2000 and I can't think of a time when I've set foot inside a bank since. Whilst I'm sure there are many good reasons to visit a physical branch, for the majority of people they do seem a little redundant.

Dulwich Born And Bred Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Judging by how busy it is , it's clearly not redundant to most and I use this bank every week .

Bic Basher Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 While I mainly use online banking, I still need to visit a physical branch for certain issues.

Tulyatt Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 At least there are other banks/cash machines in ED.I'd like to know why there is not even one cash machine in Dulwich Village?

kibris Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The reason there not one in the Village is because Dulwich Estates dont want one , Dont know why Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/79838-hsbc-dulwich-branch-is-closing/page/2/#findComment-918575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiddles Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 And what are the businesses who need to regularly pay in cash to do? I suspect they will all move to barclays, until they close too?..

Grok Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The beards, middle classes, and other recent residents of ED pay with cards for everything, from a penny purchase plus. Like the Queen thry don't carry cash ergo businesses do not need to bank cash regularly.tiddles Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> And what are the businesses who need to regularly> pay in cash to do?

Bic Basher Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 As well as the branch closing, it's the loss of three cashpoints on a ever busy high street that is also a concern.It'll only empty the ATM's at Barclays (3), the Co-op (1)and the Post Office (1) even quicker.

DulwichFox Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It is true that most people in The EDT and Bishop seem to pay for drinks with contactless cards.. Even for one drink. Strange too that when asked if they would like a receipt most decline. They have no idea how much they are spending. Some of them do indeed have beards. lol. :) It suits pubs and bars as they don't have to hold too much cash on the premises. I always pay with cash for drinks and meals.. But then I don't have a beard. :) Foxy.
