Is your local bank closing? Nearly 200 more high street branches shutting this year

2 January 2024, 15:01 | Updated: 2 January 2024, 15:07

189 bank branches from Lloyds, Halifax, Bank of Scotland, NatWest, Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Ulster Bank are set to close this year.

Banks and building societies are closing physical branches as more and more people move to online banking.

645 branches closed their doors in 2023 and a total of 5791 locations have shut since 2015, according to Which?.

LINK, which tracks planned bank closures, said that 189 bank branches will close in 2024.

Lloyds is closing 60 branches and Halifax are closing 47.

Bank of Scotland, NatWest, Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Ulster Bank are also shutting high street branches across the UK.

Branch closures can cause issues for people in rural areas who have trouble connecting to the internet.

The NatWest branch in Bakewell will close, which means the Peak District will have no more physical bank locations.
