Can I still get cash easily?

While Barclays is cutting jobs and branches, most people can still access cash easily. You can use ATMs, often found in supermarkets or post offices, even if your bank branch has closed. Many shops also offer 'cashback' with purchases, so you don't always need a dedicated ATM.
