Traditional Bank Account with very little benefits. With the advent of the internet and online banking apps, to many high street banks are closing down. The older generation are not to alert to online applications and would rather still visit a ‘Rare’ local branch to speak to staff. Used to have a local branch but now need to travel 20+ miles to visit a branch to speak to a real person. Reviewed on: 23rd November 2019
