TSB Bank are to close their branch in Paisley on Neilston Road.
This is a new blow to banking in Renfrewshire as Clydesdale bank recently confirmed they were closing two branches, one in Renfrew and one in Johnstone.
Mhairi Black MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South said: “I am deeply disturbed to learn yet another bank will be closing branches in Renfrewshire.
“TSB have announced that they will be closing their Neilston Road branch.
“This is another hit on the people of Paisley who are finding that banking is becoming more and more inaccessible.
“Not everyone has access to phone banking or online banking but it seems that these institutions do not care.
“The announced closure of the Beith branch, while not in my constituency, will have a direct effect on my constituents in Lochwinnoch who will now have to travel an additional three miles to Johnstone to have branch access.”
TSB said: “Whilst we continue to focus on upgrading the branches that people use the most, some locations are very quiet, serving fewer than 200 people a week, or where another branch is less than a mile away.
“As a result, we have decided to close 17 branches and focus our investment on those more popular locations.”
