No more postal services in Dresden's Postbank branch on Antonsplatz!

Antonsplatz 1, 01097 Dresden, Deutschland - in Dresden is going to do something in the Postbank branch at Antonsplatz 1. What's going on there? As reported [saechsische.de] (https://www.saechische.de/lokales/dresden/postbank-biete-däge-em-desplatz-in-dres-keine-postdienste- Mehr-Mehr- Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr-Mehr, are currently available three out of four switches, but the Customers have to prepare for long queues. Over 20 people would like to clarify questions about their accounts or are looking for special stamps. However, everything will change from July 3, because then no postal services will be offered. Specifically, this means that the branch will only do without the typical offers of advice.

Another problem has recently emerged: the ATMs in the anteroom have failed, which also extends the waiting times. If you want to withdraw money in the future, you have to prepare that the machines are only accessible during the switch opening times. This is done for security to prevent vandalism. The stamp machine, which attracted many customers, has already been dismantled.

new postal locations

Where should the Dresdeners do their postal transactions? The answer to this is simple: the next post office can be found at Webergasse 1 in the Altmarktgalerie. This branch, which extends over Douglas on the first floor, has already prepared for the rush with two servants. As the Paketda adds, Deutsche Post is on a clear separation route from Postbank. This is not only the case in Dresden, but runs through all of Germany. Postbank reduces its 550 branch network to 300 locations. Around 250 branches are to be closed or converted by 2026. Around 100 of these remaining branches will no longer offer postal services.

The trend is clearly towards mobile banking. A study shows that the Germans are increasingly falling back on banking apps, which also results in a decline in the use of branches. Postbank, use 38% of the online portals surveyed for their banking. Especially the younger generations aged 18 to 39 often choose mobile applications - after all, 45% of them conveniently do their banking transactions via app.

The effects on customers

The relocation towards digital offers is a challenge for many Postbank customers. About 31% of these customers are over 60 years old and have their difficulties with the changes. The current developments could mean financial losses for the partner branches, so that both citizens and mayors repeatedly complain about the closings. The last stronghold of Postbank in Dresden could now have to change operations from July 3. In conclusion, it remains to be hoped that the new postal locations can cope with the rush of customers and provide a sufficient offer. After the postbank services are lost, it remains to be seen how the other postal transactions in the city will continue.
