Hide AdKim Ruddlesdin, HSBC UK’s local director, said: “This is an exciting time as we invest in the branch and in Northampton. The changes that we are making to our Abington Street branch will mean customers have a much more modern and better designed branch, with space for customer events like seminars to protect against fraud and scams.
"It will also provide a better and more comfortable place for our branch colleagues to work, which is extremely important to us.”
A HSBC spokesman said the bank's plan is to re-open the branch on December 19.
The spokesman added: "It is a really exciting time as we invest in the branch, modernising the layout to be more practical for customers. The branch was previously set across two floors, which wasn’t really practical as a customer experience.

While the branch is being refurbished, customers can use the Post Office for day to day transactions on their accounts, like depositing or withdrawing money. Alternative HSBC UK branches can be found in Rushden, Kettering, Market Harborough, Bedford and Milton Keynes, the spokesman said.
