Delivering the Post Bank

Financial services for people, communities and small businesses at the Post Office


The first detailed proposals for delivering a Post Bank in the UK.

Delivering the Post Bank

This report sets four options which the Government could pursue to establish a state-backed, but independent, bank at the Post Office. The bank would revive and protect the Post Office network, while providing much needed suport to communities as well as the small and medium sized businesses that are the backbone of the British economy. A Post Bank would also support long-held Government targets to combat financial exclusion and introduce much-needed diversity into the retail banking system.
