Bank rebuts claim
Twizel’s National Bank has rebutted an assertion that the branch does not take accounts for the elderly or unemployed.
The assertion was made in a report in ‘The Press’ yesterday of a campaign to save the Twizel Post Office. “The National Bank has never stopped people opening accounts regardless of age, or whatever,” said the bank’s branch manager, Mr Neil Rumble.
“We are the only bank around. We will assist people in the town as much as we can,” he said. The secretary of the Save Twizel’s Post Office campaign, Mr lan Street, has disputed the comments attributed to him in the report, that retired people would find it difficult to collect their pensions and that the bank was not taking on accounts for the elderly or unemployed.
