There is an automated facility for withdrawing & paying-in inside, which has the capability of also updating your pass book.

This branch of the Nationwide building society is situated right on the market square right in the…read morecentre of Hitchin and, as such, is very handily located. The branch itself is quite small which means that at popular times (lunch hours and Saturday mornings) the queues do build up and it can become quite a squeeze inside. They only have two cashier positions which again doesn't help the overcrowding so it's best to visit at less popular times if you possibly can. That said I've always found the staff friendly and helpful and I've used their banking services at this particular branch for many years. There's a cashpoint ouside if you're short of cash on a shopping trip though again, watch the queues at busy times.

Barclays is right in the middle of the high street in the queensmere shopping centre…read more It is quite a big branch compared to the other barclays outside of the queensmere shopping centre. They have 4 cash machines, 2 outside and 2 inside as well as a machine for depositing money so you don't have to queue up for ages. Also which i find very helpful is the machine where you can print off account statements and check exactly when money went in and out of your account. This is very useful as a normal cash machine does not give you this information and it takes a while to queue up just to ask for a statement. I really like this branch of barclays and will continue to go there.

They also have a telephone service if you need to talk to someone about something regarding your existing account(lost pin) or wanting to get a new product ( morgage or loans). They also have a help desk that you can go and talk to one of the staff about anything to do with the bank. They are a friendly bunch of people who work there and are there to help.

They are in a little room off to one side of the bank. Therefore you don't have to stand out in the cold and it is more private. During the day, there is easy access to the room. Outside bank hours, you need to use your card to access the room. This again helps with privacy and misuse of the room. You can go and see their financial advisors to discuss mortgages, loans etc.

However, the services they offer are up to standard and very good as the staff are very helpful, considerate and will give any advice needed.

They have 2 cash machines outside and sometimes these do not work which can be a real big pain!
