The majority of high street banks have been closing branches due to more people using online banking
High street banks including NatWest and Lloyds are set to close 162 high street branches over the next few months.
NatWest has confirmed 52 of its physical banks will shut, while Halifax will close 42 sites and Lloyds will shut 40. Santander has 19 bank branches scheduled for closure, and Bank of Scotland has nine in the pipeline.
The majority of high street banks have been closing branches due to more people using online banking. However, charities have raised concerns that this could mean vulnerable people will be left without access to essential banking services.
Banks and building societies have closed 6,522 branches since January 2015, equating to 53 closures every month, according to Which? data.
If your local branch is closing, you can do some basic cash or counter services at your nearest Post Office – for example, if you need to pay in cash and cheques, make withdrawals and check your balance.
Some banks also now run pop-up branches or vans, but you’ll need to check online to see when one is due to visit your town.
