Lloyds Banking Group is set to close another 21 branches across England and Scotland this March.
Lloyds will pull down the shutters on 13 bank branches, while Halifax is shutting seven branches and Bank of Scotland is closing down one site. The news of more closures will be disappointing for those who rely on face-to-face banking.
If your local branch is closing, you can use any other nearby Lloyds Banking Group site for everyday banking, such as making cash deposits, withdrawals and paying in cheques. For example, Lloyds customers can visit their nearest Halifax and Bank of Scotland.
You can also check if you have a “community banker” in your area, which is where a banker is set up in a local community venue to help with account queries. However, they won’t be able to help you with cash or counter services.
Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland customers can also the Post Office for paying in and withdrawing cash, checking your balance, and depositing cheques. Latest data from Which? shows banks and building societies have closed 6,266 branches since January 2015, at a rate of around 53 each month.
This represents 63% of the branches that were open at the start of 2015. There are currently 282 closures pencilled in for 2025. You can see the latest closures from Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland coming in March below:
