- Seeking to adapt, the Post Office requested a flexible regulatory framework to evolve with consumer demand and move on from the Horizon IT scandal.
- The Post Office outlined specific revenue plans including Banking Framework 4, which extends cash services to 2030 with support from 30 banks and building societies, and requested tailored business rates relief.
- On Monday the Post Office asked ministers to allow it to extend enhanced banking and parcel services with new offerings such as small business advice.
- Earlier this year the Post Office considered offloading 115 directly owned branches to partners or closing them as the green paper review launched in July examines branch mix amid Post Office-run banking hubs' growth.
