National Penn Branch Closings

BB&T announces National Penn branch closings
WFMZ

"The combined company anticipates closing 25 BB&T and Penn National Bank branches to eliminate overlapping service areas."

My Comments About The Article AboveBefore the merger as far as customers were concerned these weren't "overlapping service areas". I fail to see how this benefits either employees or previous neighborhood customers who may or may not have to drive or walk to other locations.

As a stakeholder in the former "Keystone Bank" I voted against the National Penn bank absorption. Fat lot of good that did. Now predictably this has happened.



Less jobs, less branches, less competition.
HOW'S THAT SUPPOSED TO BE A GOOD THING ?
