Full list of 28 bank closures confirmed for August and September | Personal Finance | Finance

Bank closures are expected to continue throughout the summer, with dozens of branches across the UK set to close in August and September. Providers have said closures have come as more people switch to online and digital banking services rather than in-branch services. However, the pace at which they’re disappearing has raised concerns across the UK, particularly among older Brits who may not be as comfortable using alternative methods to manage their finances.

The Civil Service Pensioners’ Alliance says the closures are “creating real barriers to everyday financial independence” for thousands of pensioners, noting that many still rely on face-to-face banking.

It added that “a visit to a local branch allows people to withdraw cash, ask questions and deal with problems directly with a member of staff,” warning that without that, many older Brits will be left struggling.

Major high street banks have assured that they are working to ensure those affected by the closures still receive the support they need through alternative channels, such as Community Bankers.

NatWest, Halifax, Lloyds, and the Royal Bank of Scotland are among the big banks that will be closing branches in the coming months.
