HSBC will be closing its Caerphilly bank branch for three weeks while a refurbishment is carried out inside.

The branch will shut on Friday July 19, and is expected to reopen on Friday August 9.

Joanne Watcyn-Jones, HSBC UK’s local director, said: “We are pleased that our Caerphilly 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.

“We have been talking to customers about the temporary closure for the last month, and while we are having the work done people can continue to use their nearest post office for day-to-day transactions, plus mobile and online banking is available 24/7 in addition to being able to call our contact centre.”

She continued: “We will also be hosting community pop up events at Blackwood Town Council community hub, where we will be on hand to support customers.

“We will be there Monday to Friday, from July 19 until August 1 – 10am to 3pm.”

The nearest HSBC cash service branch is in Cowbridge, while the nearest digital service branch is on Albany Road, Cardiff.

Last summer, HSBC permanently closed its branch on Blackwood High Street.
