High Street banks replaced with new hub

A Stoke-on-Trent town is set to benefit from a new banking hub due to open at the site of a former Shoe Zone shop.

The Longton Exchange has confirmed that it will become the home of the town's new Banking Hub, to be located at the former Shoe Zone unit.

The facility is expected to open around December 2026 bringing face-to-face banking and cash services to the centre of the town.

The Longton Exchange says the announcement follows "months of work behind the scenes" alongside Cash Access UK to secure the premises and progress the project.
