UK & IOM NI systems are now separate systems.

Accounts yes, other no. All banks are expecting losses, makes sense to close branches when people do have an alternative. Plenty of oldies round me who never visit a bank.

RBSI is servicing a lot of debt and like other banks will expect to report a considerable loss due to Covid. No need to stay in the stone age.

& it's not even 2 miles.

You won't get the good ones.

Yes, educated. Degree in sums and sparks.

Not just young families. I even send packages via Post Office or DPD online as my PO has closed and the nearest one has almost no parking nearby.

Death rate / hour spent swimming would be a better comparison.

Read the link I posted, it's really about consolidation and simplifying the system. The name is not relevant, whether the bank is solvent is far more important.

I doubt whether 50% of Manx residents would vote for the TT. Were I resident then I wouldn't, too many widows and orphans.

My local Post Office offered support for HSBC customers. Now the Post Office has closed.

Savings? Treating someone closer to family is better all round, I'm sure I read that this does aid recovery.

DD - Wassat?

Just FWIW since lockdown I've used cash just once - buying a beer at my local.
