THE closure of the Palmwoods ANZ Bank has placed increased pressure for
banking services on the Palmwoods Post Office, an agency of the Commonwealth
Bank.
As a result, Australia Post and the Commonwealth Bank in Nambour will have
information sessions in Palmwoods during the next three weeks.
A white board will be erected and two CBA staff made available to outline
alternative banking possibilities to residents.
The information sessions will be this Friday, April 4, next Tuesday to
Thursday, April 8-10, and the following Tuesday to Friday, April 15-18.
"We are getting a lot of enquiry at the Post Office, particularly from
older people who are afraid of what happen to them now that they are losing
their bank," Post Master Frank Martin said.
"Following this huge response to the decision, it was decided to set up
an advisory service here at the post office to give people more information
on how they can do their banking."
