Bank branches are a crucial resource for many communities, especially in rural areas, and offer essential services to the elderly in cities. Despite innovations like shared banking hubs and Post Office bank services helping to maintain access to banking facilities, UK high streets still look likely to experience a reduction in bank branches due to another round of closures this year.

On Friday, NatWest became the latest bank to declare a series of permanent branch closures, with 53 branches set to close this year. This follows announcements from Halifax, Lloyds, and Bank of Scotland, each detailing their own bank branch closure plans for 2025, reports the Express.

If your local bank branch is closing, you may still be able to perform basic services at your local Post Office. For instance, Post Offices allow you to deposit cash and cheques, make withdrawals, and even check your bank balance.

Santander

Santander has confirmed that it's not eyeing up any permanent branch closures at the moment, but is shifting towards 'counter-free services' in a handful of branches. A spokesperson for the bank said: "We have no planned permanent branch closures currently. We're offering a counter-free service in some of our branches from July 2024 to January 2025. These branches are Braintree, Bromsgrove, Edgware Station Road, Streatham, and Stirling. Our opening hours won't change, and our staff will be on hand to help you during your branch visit."

Amid speculation over Santander's future presence in the UK market after the car finance mis-selling episode, the bank's executive chairman, Ana Botin, underscored her commitment to the nation while speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. She stated emphatically: "We love the UK" and emphasised: "It is a core market and will remain a core market for Santander."
