A warning has been issued to anyone who’s planning to bank with Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland beyond April. Lloyds Bank, Halifax and Bank of Scotland are all set to shut down 37 sites in 2025 in a brutal blow to bank customers.
According to research conducted by consumer champion Which?, more than 6,000 bank branch closures have taken place in the UK since 2015.
Sam Richardson, the deputy editor of Which? Money, explained: “This milestone of more than 6,000 bank branch 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.

“While some may hardly notice the closure of their local branch as they seamlessly switch to online banking, for others reliant on face-to-face services, the impact can be disastrous. It’s not about halting closures altogether, but ensuring that essential banking services remain accessible to those who still rely on them.
“It is crucial that the government prioritises opening more hubs quickly, so that people aren’t left behind.”
