List of bank branch closures in 2023, including NatWest, Lloyds, HSBC and Barclays

The way we bank has significantly changed in recent years. Now more than ever, people are choosing to do their banking online, rather than in their local branch.

This has caused a knock-on effect, with closures to major high-street banks taking place throughout the UK.

Figures show 5,162 bank and building society branches have closed since January 2015.

A further 206 branches are set to close by the end of 2023, according to Which? magazine findings, although figures vary.

Barclays has recently announced plans to close 14 more bank branches across England and Wales, including two in London.

The latest list of closures will take place in June in another blow for the struggling high street, on top of the 55 branches the bank announced were closing earlier this year.

As a result of nationwide closures, thousands of customers will have no access to their bank branches. They will also possibly face the reality of having their local banks shut forever, with around 32 different locations currently being affected.

According to the cash-machine network Link, 242 closures are scheduled for 2023, and some have already occurred this year. Barclays will close 54 branches, and 14 more closures were announced earlier this month.

HSBC is set to close 114 branches and NatWest will bring down the shutters on 52 branches. Meanwhile, Lloyds Bank will close 23 branches, which actually adds up to 257 closures. Nationwide, however, has promised to keep high-street branches till at least 2024.

Popularity of online banking

Online banking has become an integral way for most people to manage their money and conduct their financial transactions.

The convenience of being able to bank whenever and wherever you choose has changed the banking platform, with a significant drop in customers visiting their local bank.

And business owners may now trust online banks more than traditional high-street banks, with many making the move to digital, reveals the Fintech Times.

Banking through a computer, banking app, or your mobile phone is now safe and reliable thanks in part to its secure high protection.

The negative outcome, however, has meant a stark change to the high street, with banking closures becoming commonplace, and resultant job losses.
