Hundreds of UK bank branches are set to close for good this year, leaving thousands of customers without access to an in person branch.
HSBC, Natwest, Lloyds, Barclays, Halifax, TSB and Santander are all among major banks that are shutting branches across the country in the coming months.
All of them have cited the increase in people banking online rather than in person as a reason for the closures.
New data from cash machine network, LINK, has revealed there are 266 branches already planned for closure this year.
HSBC is set to close 114 branches, Natwest will close 52, while Barclays is set to shut its doors at 41 locations.
Lloyds will shut 23 sites, Halifax will close 20, while TSB is shutting nine branches and Santader is shutting five this year.
These are the closing dates and locations for every bank branch currently scheduled for closure in 2023.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
