Is/was the Post Office also a bank of some sort?
It was Post Office Savings then. It's still a bank now, although there is a plan to make it even more of one; in Europe, it's a major popular bank and many people use it as their only checking account, and pay all their bills through it- rather like the Giro system in Britain.
