A new banking hub is set to open in the Arndale centre in Morecambe.
Cash Access UK, the organisation responsible for setting up banking hubs, has applied for planning permission at a vacant shop unit inside the centre at 10 Royalty Mall.
Banking hubs offer a shared banking space and a counter service where customers of all major banks and building societies can carry out regular cash transactions.
The hubs also offer a Community Banker service where customers can talk to their own bank about more complicated banking issues.
The Community Bankers work on rotation, with a different bank available on each day of the week. Community Bankers are usually provided by the banks with the most customers in the local area.
The nearby Halifax branch in the Arndale shopping centre will shut on September 15, leaving the Nationwide on Euston Road as the only bank/building society left in the town centre.
Cash Access UK is a not-for-profit company funded by major high street banks. They provide cash and basic banking services in communities across the UK.
It is funded by banks including AIB NI, Bank of Ireland UK, Barclays, Danske Bank, HSBC UK, Lloyds Banking Group, NatWest Group, Santander, TSB and Virgin Money.
Cash Access UK is open to any bank or building society to join as long as they meet certain criteria.
The planning application is for "removal of existing roller shutters and installation of new shop front, replacement windows and doors to rear elevation, installation of HVAC condensers/louvres to rear elevation".
Lancaster City Council will make a decision on whether to grant planning permission in due course.
