Scotiabank customers in Liverpool will have to travel half an hour up the road to do their banking.

A notice posted in the Liverpool branch announced it would be closing its prominent location at the corner of Main and Market streets and moving all accounts to Bridgewater as of April 11th, 2024.

The bank did not provide a reason for the change or provide any indication if the employees would be retained or moved to another location.

The decision has spurred a great deal of conversation in the community and online with many current customers discussing the possibility of moving their accounts to another bank.

Once Scotiabank pulls up stakes, Royal Bank and Bank of Montreal will be the last of the big five Canadian banks to maintain a presence in Liverpool. Loblaws’ Presidents Choice banking will also continue to service Liverpool customers.
