We are working hard to eliminate ‘financial exclusion’ in North Yorkshire. Financial exclusion is when you cannot benefit from facilities like having a bank account or debit card or being able to use direct debit or internet banking. Either because you have been refused or through choice (maybe you have had a bad experience with a bank of financial product in the past).
