A few weeks ago, Handelsbanken announced that they would close their bank branch in Sorsele in May and move staff and operations to the office in Arvidsjaur.
When SVT visits Sorsele, many are upset about the decision.
- Everyone thinks this is boring.
Many people talk about changing banks, says Sorsele resident Ulrik Turesson.
Covers Sorsele from Arvidsjaur
Ellinor Lundström, county manager for Handelsbanken in Norrbotten, believes that it will be a concentration when it moves its operations to Arvidsjaur.
- For us, Sorsele is still important.
We gather strength in Arvidsjaur and cover Sorsele from there.
We will be able to have increased opening hours and we will achieve a higher level of competence, says Ellinor Lundström.
