is going to close down 88 branches around the country and one of them is this one in Dungloe. Most people do online banking these days. Another bank, AIB, have mobile banks that visit the towns. For people who wish to use the bank services, An Post (the postal service) will have a contract with the bank so their services will still be available.
That sounds like a big problem.
ReplyDeleteOhh, that's sad.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like a bank building.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad...and I can just imagine how the postal service is looking forward to becoming a banking service too!
ReplyDeleteLife is changing all around us.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
So sad.
ReplyDeleteShame. I have resisted online banking for years and still resisting!
ReplyDeleteImpressive building. Wonder what the building will be used for now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a classy old building. The bank closing so many branches must have a negative impact on the whole country. We do enjoy going into our bank to do business.
ReplyDeleteSign of the times really. Banks here are starting to not use cheque books anymore, alot of elderly people are up in arms about it.
ReplyDeleteThat is too bad. I don't do on-line banking. I feel like we are too dependent on internet activities and it doesn't feel as secure to me as it used to be. I must be getting old! ;-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteSad to see businesses closing down. A beautiful building though.
ReplyDelete...stately, so unlike banks here!
ReplyDeleteLindo banco, me gusto el edificio. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound good. I hope it won't create too many problems for you and others.
ReplyDeleteThat's bad for many people :-(
ReplyDeleteLooks a nice building but I'm sure many people are not happy about the closure. By what you have said the bank has made provisions for banking.
ReplyDeleteSame story everywhere which must be difficult for those without online access. Personally I have no idea if my local branch is still there - haven't been there since 2017!
ReplyDeleteAround the world, banks want to make more profit by closing branches and laying off employees.
ReplyDeleteNice building.
Oh, times are a changing. Very nice building.
ReplyDeleteOnline banking comes in handy these days, and for the wheelchair-bound like me, it becomes a boon to sent or receive money from home, but closing banks couldn't feel good. Banks are the safest place for people to trusted deposits. I liked the construction of the bank and the benches to relax outdoor.
ReplyDeleteI rarely have any need to go into the physical branch any more.
ReplyDeleteJobs are disappearing in traditional occupations.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that most banks wat out of the retail banking. Service isn't in their thinking.
ReplyDeleteBy closing offices they reduce costs. But were are the benefits for the customer? They don't lower the rates!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of mobile banking visiting towns... Happy weekend Bill:)
ReplyDeleteEstá a ocorrer o mesmo, em muitas outras instituições bancárias, infelizmente!
ReplyDeleteO mundo está mudando rapidamente em muitas áreas! Adorei ver tal edifício... mas interrogo-me sobre qualquer será o seu aproveitamento no futuro...
Uma coisa é certa, por todo o lado... reduzem-nos a qualidade dos serviços bancários ao balcão... mas sempre inventam taxas de serviços crescentes... :-(
Um grande abraço
