Big banks propose sharing regional branches
Original: australian banking association regional hubs
Australia's largest banks, through the Australian Banking Association, are exploring plans to share branch infrastructure in regional areas as closures continue to hit country towns. The proposal would let customers of different banks access services from shared regional hubs, a shift the industry says is about finding new ways to keep face-to-face banking viable where standalone branches are no longer economical.
Why now: Regional branch closures remain a contentious issue in Australia and the idea of banks sharing facilities is a notable shift.
