We’ve received this disappointing reply (as attached) from Kiwibank, they’re unwavering in opinion that closure is necessary, due to having sufficient services (within a 6km radius), alongside the offer to assist customers in bridging the digital divide (to online services).

We know (from your comments) that many within our community have a high reliance on physical desk services and can’t travel further. 

SO, I NEED YOUR HELP TO SHOW KIWIBANK THE POWER OF THIS COMMUNITY BEFORE THE PETITION HANDOVER NEXT WEEK!

PLEASE SHARE AND ENCOURAGE FAMILY MEMBERS TO SIGN IT NOW TOO! The more signatures we gain the stronger mandate we have to fight Kiwibank for a compromise within our discussions. It can’t be the ‘peoples bank’ if we can’t equally access it! THANKS LEE
