### When Getting To The Bank Is The Problem
Not everyone can **nip into town** easily. Mobility issues, no transport, recovering from surgery, or just that the bank's moved to some retail park with awful parking - sometimes you need someone to do the banking run for you.
> 💡 **Good to know:** Most banks are gradually closing branches, so this service is becoming more useful. Even in Ottery St Mary, your nearest branch might now be miles away.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bank run in Ottery St Mary
How does this work with my bank details?
You need to provide written authorisation or a third-party mandate from your bank. I can't access your account without proper paperwork - and you wouldn't want me to! Most banks have forms for this. I'm happy to help you sort the admin side.
What banking tasks can you help with?
Deposits (cash or cheques), collecting paperwork, dropping off signed documents, picking up statements. I can't do withdrawals or account changes without specific third-party authority from your bank.
Is this mainly for elderly people who can't get to the bank?
That's the main use - people with mobility issues, those recovering from operations, or elderly folks who find it all a bit much. But I've also helped busy professionals who can't take time off work, and people without transport.
Can I trust you with cash and documents?
I'm fully insured and have provided this service to elderly and vulnerable customers for years. I can provide references if that helps. Everything is documented - you get a receipt for what I've collected and deposited.
Do you charge by distance to the bank?
It's included in the time. Most banks in Ottery St Mary centre are similar - if it's further afield or multiple branches, that just affects how long it takes.
