Access to Banking

The Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee would welcome your views on:

• The current position regarding access to banking services in Wales, to include issues relating to financial inclusion and digital inclusion.
• The variety of ways in which branch closures and access to free ATMs can affect local communities (for instance the impacts from a business, tourism, social, demographic and regeneration perspective).
• To understand the potential process, benefits and challenges involved with establishing a community bank with multiple branches in Wales.
