TSB to close 36 bank branches and cut 250 jobs - full list of locations

TSB will shut 36 bank branches and cut 250 jobs, it has announced. A TSB spokesperson said: “The decision to close a branch is never taken lightly, but our customers are now doing most of their banking digitally and we need to move to a better balance of digital and face-to-face services.

"We remain committed to a national branch network and through innovation and integration with video, telephone, digital, branch and other face-to-face services TSB customers have more ways to bank with us than ever before.” Unite regional officer, Andy Case said: “The decision by TSB to cut 250 roles is a grave mistake.

"These workers perform essential work in the fraud departments and across the branch network. Through extensive negotiations Unite has been able to substantially reduce the number of jobs at risk. However, that isn’t sufficient, the union is pressing TSB to urgently reconsider its damaging bank branch closures plan.
