York MP Julian Sturdy is to meet with bank bosses over the planned closure of the Barclays branch in Haxby.
Nearly 500 people have signed a petition calling on Barclays to overturn their plan to shut the branch on The Village.
It is due to go in October after Barclays said too few were using it.
But customers reject that view. Writing on the YorkMix Facebook page, Sophie Jane said: “People were queuing down the street when it did open.”
Kath Parkinson added: “I have an account there, and living in Huntington it is so much easier than going into town and also for parking.
“They don’t consider older people who do not want to travel into town, it’s disgusting.”
Mr Sturdy, York Outer MP, said: “Given the vital importance of access to physical banking services for the community, especially for many older or more vulnerable residents, I think it is essential to seek guarantees Barclays will continue to assist its loyal local customers through a proper presence in Haxby.
“I am reassured by indications that Barclays are looking to offer in-person services in the village to residents that need them, for instance in the local library, but want to hear concrete proposals on this.
“Thankfully, several cash machines close by and the banking services available at Haxby Post Office continue to provide important facilities, but this is no substitute for Barclays putting in place proper ongoing provision for residents.
“I am determined to secure results on this, and maintain the welfare of the local community.”
