37 NatWest, Santander, Halifax and Lloyds bank branches are closing in just weeks. NatWest is closing a huge number of stores and Lloyds is also closing several of its branches.
Sam Richardson, Which?’s deputy editor, said that the closures represent a “seismic shift” in how Brits bank. “The milestone of more than 6,000 bank closures in just nine years underscores the seismic shift that has taken place in terms of our banking habits and the character of the British high street,” Sam said.
Halifax said: “Most customers are now using our mobile banking app, internet banking or calling us instead. This means they are using branches less.”

Lloyds said: “Over 20 million customers are using our apps for on-demand access to their money and customers have more choice and flexibility than ever for their day-to-day banking.
“Alongside our apps, customers can also use telephone banking, visit a community banker or use any Halifax, Lloyds or Bank of Scotland branch, giving access to many more branches.
“Customers can also do their everyday banking at over 11,000 branches of the Post Office or in a Banking Hub.”
