Dankse Bank Lisnaskea branch to close.
DANKSE Bank has announced it is to close its Lisnaskea branch and merge with its Enniskillen branch at the beginning of December.
A spokesman for the bank claimed that staff posts will be relocated to other roles within the bank.
They stated that the increase of digital banking has reduced the number of customers visiting branches and added that the news may come as a ‘disappointment’ to local customers.
Commenting on the announcement, Tony Wilcox, Danske Bank’s Managing Director of Personal Banking, said: “Consumer behaviour in an increasingly digital world is changing the face of traditional banking.
“Customers now visit branches less frequently and many are using other convenient ways to bank. To keep pace with these changes we continue to increase our investment in alternative banking channels such as telephone banking, online banking and mobile banking.
“I fully understand that this news may be disappointing for our customers, but I can assure them that Danske Bank remains committed to continuing to meet their banking needs. I have written to all of our Lisnaskea branch customers to assure them of this commitment.
“Our ‘real time’ banking between branches means that our customers can use any branch of Danske Bank in Northern Ireland as their own. They will be made welcome wherever, and however, they wish to use our branch network.”
Over the coming weeks customers will find details in the Lisnaskea branch of support sessions that Danske Bank will be holding there prior to the merger with the Enniskillen branch.
These sessions, available outside of normal banking hours, will offer further guidance on the different banking channels that Danske Bank can offer.
Customers are able to register their interest in attending one of these support sessions by speaking to any member of the branch team in Lisnaskea.
The cash machine service will also be withdrawn from the branch on December 5.
