Petition Oblige UK banks to provide instant debit card cash deposits in the Post Office

The Banks’ closure programmes are unfair, particularly to their rural customers, personal & small business, and those who cannot travel far. The Government must oblige all UK banks to provide instant debit card cash deposit facilities via the Post Office as part of their branch closures programmes

More details

Presently, just a few banks allow customers to deposit cash using their debit cards.
The bank closures are forcing personal & small business customers to deposit cash in a local Post office using the customer's paying-in slips, with delays of 2-3 days before crediting the customer's account: This is profitable to the banks to the cost of their customers.
This petition asks the Government to only allow future bank closures, if the bank has put actions in place to stop this unfair practice.
