Protesters gathered outside the Westpac bank in Waikanae's Mahara Place this afternoon to draw light to concerns about the branch's potential closure.
Braving the slight rainfall, protesters all of ages came together to fight what some called a "ridiculous" and "disadvantageous" situation.
Westpac, which was set to decide which branches to close by the end of September, had 19 national branches including Waikanae on its radar.
According to Tali Williams of New Zealand's First Union, Westpac's reason for the possible closure stemmed from less over-the-counter transactions at the Waikanae branch.
She said despite online banking use being on the rise, Waikanae had one of the largest populations of over 65-year-olds in the country, including visually impaired customers and those who struggled with dementia and relied on a face-to-face service.
