Tararua has been hit with another bank closure, leaving neighbours frustrated. BNZ's Pahīatua branch will close in two weeks, leaving Westpac as the town's only full-service bank.

ANZ closed its branch in the town in December, and Westpac removed its ATM from the town's Main St in May.

BNZ retail regional manager Ange McHardy said the reality was it wasn't practical to keep the branch open after in-person transactions fell significantly during the past couple of years.
