Hundreds of bank branches disappeared from the high street last year as they shut their doors for good, and a similar number set to shut in 2024.
Among the nearly 200 locations set for closure this year are 45 UK bank branches that are shutting down in August.
Halifax, Lloyds, NatWest and Bank of Scotland are among the major banks shutting branches across the country in the coming weeks.
All of the businesses have cited the increase in the number of people banking online rather than in person as one of the reasons behind the new list of branch closures.
As of today, 6,000 bank branches have been closed over the past 9 years! 🚫🚫🚫

With around 54 branches disappearing per month, banks must commit to keeping branches open until alternative arrangements are made to protect access to cash.https://t.co/1mRWYKFM43
