Suspect they are not open, certainly Barclays don't open Saturday and if others did then I suspect they would.

Natwest also do not

However if you are looking to hide a load of cash there is plenty of room under my mattress ;)

Perhaps the OP doesn't know how to Google,, I do, and that's how I found out, and I suspect you do Fred.

Yeh.. I did check google.... but as ever not all of the information is either upto date or valid....

I know most of the shops are open Sat morning, I would of thought that at least one bank would be open ?

oh come on you are being really silly.....

Yonks ago Barclays announced they would be opening on a Saturday morning.
My exwife was a banking clerk at Lloyds and totally poo-pooed the idea as non-sensical. I said that the banks should open more sensible hours (then 0930 to 1530 with a very reduced service during 1200-1400 as "everyone is entitled to a lunchbreak you know") and various other statements that went down like a lead balloon.

three or four weeks after the grand opening we went in to have a look at how things were doing and it was PACKED, till queues out the door, business dept out of the door, enquiries out of the door. The exwife sniffed and said "I can't believe this, they must all be bad at running their accounts" and walked out.
The rest of the banks followed suit, opening on Saturday mornings and even today do as much business on a Saturday as they do any other day..

Many other stories about her but three guesses as to one of the reasons why she became exwife ? ?
