Lloyds' Cheque Deposit Cut Exposes Rural Divide Lloyds Banking Group's decision to limit cash deposits on cheques has sparked outrage in rural areas, where the move will exacerbate an already worrying trend of high street bank closures.
The changes, set to take effect from April, restrict cash deposits to £2,500 for business accounts and £20,000 for personal ones.
This may seem like a moderate measure at first glance, but it's another blow to communities that are struggling with limited access to financial services.
