Post Offices: Bank Services

Asked by Helen MorganLiberal DemocratDepartment for Business and TradeTabled Answered 27 June 2025UIN 61307

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether the Post Office will continue to provide banking services after the expiration of banking framework 4 in 2030.

Answered by Gareth Thomas

Banking Framework 4 is a commercial agreement between the Post Office and the banking sector which will ensure that the Post Office continues to provide cash and basic banking services to the end of the decade. Decisions on future service provision are subject to commercial and voluntary negotiations between the Post Office and the banking sector.

The Post Office Green Paper, due to be published soon, will set out further detail on the Post Office’s long-term future.
