There’s outrage over the closure of the last major bank in Logan Central
The Commonwealth Bank is set to close next month at Logan Central Plaza
It’s a move that will impact hundreds of local pensioners, not-for-profit groups, families, and local business
Over the road at the National Australia Bank and its Chief Executive Ross McEwan says the pandemic has left many banks less profitable.
“Before we close a branch or go anywhere near closing a branch, we look at all the stats of where are all the people banking – whether it’s in that branch or other branches and what other services are available”.
After the closure, only the Bank of Queensland will service Logan Central and the surrounding suburb of Woodridge.
One councillor wants to put a stop to the latest bank closure saying elderly locals have trusted the bank for many years and can’t go without.
Logan City Councillor Teresa Lane has created an online petition in protest of this and says she has written to the Finance Sector Union and the Commonwealth Bank asking for a reversal of the decision.
