A BANK branch will close for more than a month.

HSBC is temporarily shutting the doors at its High Street branch in Northwich as it is set to undergo a refurbishment.

The makeover will include some internal building work and the installation of new cash machines.

Julie Davies, HSBC UK’s local director, said: “We continue to invest in our branch network to make our customers’ experience banking with us a good one.

“We are pleased that our Northwich branch is getting a refresh, with some painting, new signage and the installation of new state-of-the-art cash machines, which we are excited about.”

HSBC will close to customers at 2pm on Friday (August 16).

It is expected to reopen at 9.30am on Friday (September 20).

Until then, customers can continue to use their nearest Post Office for day-to-day transactions.

Mobile and online banking will also continue to be available 24/7, as will the contact centre.

Customers can also use any of HSBC’s branches, with the closest being on High Street, Runcorn
