Hailsham Town Council is delighted to announce that the High Street Post Office now offers Western Union international money transfers in-branch, just one of many upgrades to the facility’s offering in recent months.
Western Union is used by millions of people around the world to transfer money internationally, including people who are sending cash gifts to loved ones, and those who need to make payments overseas quickly and easily.
The announcement of the additional money transfer service follows the recent opening of the Hailsham Banking Hub, which operates from the High Street Post Office on weekdays. This essential community facility is temporary, until such time as permanent premises in the town centre are acquired.
Similar to a traditional banking branch, Banking Hubs are centrally located spaces with professional, face to face counter services provided by the major high street bank. The Town Council, as the local lead in its delivery, was instrumental in the campaign to establish a Banking Hub in Hailsham, following the recent closure of local bank branches.
Residents, businesses and community organisations are encouraged to use the interim Banking Hub in the same way as their own bank, including services such as cash withdrawals, deposits, opening an account, paying in cheques and financial advice. The new hub will complement existing banking services for individuals and businesses already provided in-branch at the High Street Post Office, which include normal bank transactions and business deposits.
The Hailsham Banking Hub operates from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday (including lunch times). The community banking representation rota is as follows:
Furthermore, the town centre Post Office’s opening hours have recently changed:
Furthermore, the Hailsham Post Office has received further positive feedback from residents and customers, again praising the branch team for its customer service, providing access to banking services amid recent bank branch closures, and for responding to community needs.
