    Norwegian union critical of Government proposals to drop demand for postal banking service



    The UNI Post & Logistics affiliate in Norway, Postkom requires a thorough investigation before the government considers whether it should drop the demand for banking services in the post office network.



    It has been announced that the Ministry of Transport assessment has been curtailed. Postkom requires a thorough investigation which, inter alia, the following must be determined:



    · The proportion of the population without access to mainstream banking services because commercial banks do not want them as customers (without regular employment, residence and Norwegian citizenship)

    · Percentage of population with no internet banking and / or access to this



    The assessment and treatment of the proposed postal banking service must be able to give a clear recommendation on how the government should ensure that the weakest groups in society do not fall off and that these people can still take out money and pay bills, "said union President Odd Christian Øverland.
