Some banking facts for your weekend, make of them what you will:
in the last 10 years two thirds of UK bank branches have closed;
in 135 places Nationwide (with its current commitment to branch banking) is the only bank in the area.
Banking hubs (the sector's preferred solution to the closure of branches) currently serve around 150 towns/areas.
