Santander UK officially opens its newly designed and refurbished branch in Camborne yesterday.
It is the latest of Santander’s branches to be re-designed as part of a programme to deliver even better customer service and community-friendly banking.
The new look branch in Trelowarren Street will be officially opened by firefighters from the Tolvaddon Fire Station and Chris Robbins, from Macmillan Cancer Support.
Santander’s head of retail distribution, Susan Allen said: “Banking is changing at a rapid pace and we wanted to create a branch that can accommodate the needs of all our local customers.
"That means combining traditional banking facilities, and a focus on delivering great customer service, with modern, digital services including free Wi-Fi, customer tablets and digital ATMs.
“Santander branches are an important part of many communities and our investment in this branch reflects our commitment to Camborne.”
Annually, the Camborne branch fundraises for both Macmillan Cancer Support and the Tolvaddon Fire Station.
Work on the new branch design took six weeks to complete and facilities include digital workstations with tablets for online banking, Express Banking with a new ATM wall, counter services for more secure transactions, as well as private interview rooms.
Customers visiting the branch will be greeted in a reception area and directed to a range of tailored services depending on how they want to bank.
The branch, which employs six staff and is managed by Carol Bragg, will also feature a picture wall to display local community initiatives such as Santander Foundation grants.
