  1. MUMBLES: Banking Hub opens today — and Pembroke Dock confirmed for June

    Banking services are returning to two more communities across south and west Wales – with Mumbles opening its new banking hub this morning and Pembroke Dock confirming its hub will open in early June.

    The Mumbles Banking Hub opened its doors for the first time today at Unit 6, Castleton Walk Arcade, Newton Road, Mumbles, SA3 4AX.

    The hub will be open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm – with community bankers from Barclays attending on Wednesdays, Lloyds Banking Group on Thursdays and NatWest on Fridays. Monday and Tuesday schedules are still to be confirmed.

    Mumbles County Councillor Will Thomas, who confirmed the opening, said it was great news for the community and described it as returning banking services to the village.

    The Mumbles hub was first recommended last year after high street banking services continued to disappear from the area, leaving residents and businesses without face-to-face banking locally.

    Meanwhile in Pembrokeshire, Pembroke Dock Town Council has confirmed that its new banking hub will be sited in Pembroke Dock library, with an opening date expected in early June.

    The council said the exact opening date would be shared in due course and urged residents from across the county to make use of the service.

    Banking hubs are a national initiative designed to replace lost high street bank branches with a shared facility, where customers of multiple banks can carry out everyday transactions and speak to their own bank’s community banker on a rotating schedule.

    The model has been rolled out across south-west Wales in recent months – with Morriston, Gorseinon, Porthcawl and Ystradgynlais all receiving hubs following community campaigns.

    Not every community that has applied for a hub has been successful. Plaid MS Sioned Williams challenged cash access company Link over Pontardawe’s exclusion from the programme – a decision that angered local campaigners.

    Banking hubs are operated by Cash Access UK and are recommended by Link, the cash access network, following an assessment of local need.

    The assessment takes into account the number of bank branch closures in an area, the availability of alternative cash access points, and the demographics of the local population.

    Mumbles and Pembroke Dock both qualify on the grounds of multiple branch closures in recent years, leaving communities without convenient access to in-person banking services.

    For Mumbles residents, the hub on Newton Road is open from today. No appointment is needed for general counter services.

    For Pembroke Dock residents, further details on the opening date and schedule will be published by the town council in the coming weeks.

  2. A few years ago my default assumption would have been "oh, someone thought they could save money on their IT budget by firing all their experienced IT folk and contracting out to a company that uses cheap fresh graduates in India"

    Now I may have to modify that assumption and allow for the possibility that they thought they could save money on their IT budget by firing all their experienced IT folk and using AI to write their code.

  9. interesting 🤔

    the Google compliant Lloyd's Bank Android banking app is made by Adobe ... and spies a lot ...

  10. I finally got back into the Lloyd's Bank mobile app the other day, and I have to say they've really done a tubular job of ensuring the app is as accessible and easy-to-use as possible with VoiceOver. On-screen elements are clearly labelled, item focus is never lost, everything response as it should when interacted with, and so much more. Sure, some stuff is weirdly positioned, but you can easily explore by touch if needed. Are other UK/US/other countries' banking apps this accessible? #LloydsBank #banking #OnlineBanking #MobileBanking #blind

  11. Lloyds bank chief demands that government keep its hands off his profits. Because he deserves them.

    Meanwhile, UK banks continue to close branches and slash staffing across the board.

  12. Oh dear..... The Barclay Bros. seem to have run into a little trouble over at the Torygraph;

    looks like #LloydsBank might be about to call in an outstanding debt of (according to one FT source) in the 'hundreds of millions of pounds';

    I so hope the bank does force the #DailyTelegraph into receivership....

  13. How I Broke Into a #Bank Account With an #AI-Generated #Voice
    Banks in the U.S. and Europe tout #voiceID as a secure way to log into your account. I proved it's possible to trick such systems with free or cheap AI-generated voices.

    The reporter used an AI synthesis of his own voice to fool the voice authentication system for #LloydsBank.
