A new interactive map shows where banks are closing across Britain, with a total of 138 branches set to shut their doors this summer despite bosses signing a voluntary agreement with the government
Nearly 140 bank branches will close down this summer as the big banks continue their retreat from the High Street.
Analysis of official data shows that a total of 138 branches will be shut down between June and August, with Santander leading the way. Thirteen banks will close during August, all but one of them branches of Santander, after the banking giant announced it was shutting 95 banks earlier this year.
The only other bank due to close this month is the Lloyds Bank in Leeds Crossgate. It follows the loss of 84 banks in June and 41 in July. These closures impact every region of England as well as Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. It comes after news that Nationwide will pay bonus £760 into accounts of customers who do one thing.
Cornwall has been hardest hit by the summer closures, with seven branches vanishing from its high streets. You can find out if any branches are due to close near you using our interactive map.

Average of 50 closures per month despite agreement
Since a voluntary agreement saw the major banking groups commit to assessing the impact of every closure in February 2022, 1,879 bank branches have shut or announced their intention to close.
That’s an average of around 50 closures announced per month or 12 per week.
The LINK initiative to assess the impact of closures – which was agreed by all the major banks including Barclays, HSBC, Natwest, Lloyds, and Halifax – was set up to ensure vulnerable customers and small businesses were not left behind in the switch to cashless payments and virtual banking.
When closures leave communities without any local bank, banking hubs or free ATMs are set up to fill the gap.
