More than 18,000 residents of Warminster are to gain access to a new multi-bank deposit machine.

Cash Access UK, the organisation set up to protect nationwide access to cash, is to provide cash and deposit services inside Iceland at the Three Horseshoes Walk shopping centre in Warminster.

Gareth Oakley, chief executive officer at Cash Access UK, said: “Access to deposit-taking ATMs is vital for cash-reliant UK consumers struggling to access basic banking services and it’s just as important that businesses who accept cash can bank it too.

“We’re pleased to be able to bring this service to residents and local businesses in Warminster.”

The deposit machine has been set up in partnership with NCR Atleos and is connected to the LINK ATM network.

It will offer easy access to cash services such as withdrawals, balance enquiries and PIN management to customers of all major banks.

It also offers free cash deposits to customers of Barclays, Bank of Scotland, Danske Bank, Halifax, Lloyds, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, TSB and Ulster Bank with more banks to be added soon.

Deposit machines generally operate alongside banking hubs, which provide basic cash and face-to-face services to personal and business banking customers.
