RBC closing bank in Massey, merging with Espanola branch

Massey’s only bank is closing.  RBC is closing its doors on August 16^th and merging with its branch in Espanola.  In a letter to customers, the bank says on closing day, all the Massey accounts will be transferred to Espanola as well as safety deposit boxes.  For residents and business people in Massey, that means about a 25 minute trip one way.  The letter doesn’t explain why the Massey office is closing.  It states several factors were considered and the Royal will talk about those reasons at a public meeting next month in Massey and will also talk about alternative banking arrangements.
