Two dozen banks are due to shut in November in the latest wave of branch closures - check our map to see if your bank is affected.


Major banks, including Lloyds, NatWest, Halifax, Santander, and Barclays, have announced branch closures that will take effect next month.


In total, 24 banks are due to shutter in November, with Lloyds leading the way. Sixteen of the closures this month affect Lloyds branches, including in major locations such as Bristol, Manchester, and Sheffield.


Banks will disappear from high streets across every region of England, as well as Scotland and Wales. The first closure is scheduled for Friday (November 3), when the Bank of Scotland branch in Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway, will shutter.

Closures will follow the next day in Coventry, Bedfordshire, Hounslow, and Plymouth, and will continue throughout the month. By the end of this year, more than 500 banks will have shuttered in 2025 alone, with dozens more closures already pencilled in for next year.

According to data collected by consumer magazine Which?, banks and building societies have closed more than 6,500 branches in the UK since January 2015. That represents two-thirds (66%) of branches that were open a decade ago.

It’s also a rate of around 53 closures every month. A report published by the House of Commons Library said that the provision of cash and banking services had fallen partly because of “changing consumer behaviour” and the move towards online banking and digital payments.


However, the report also noted that the reduction was being “driven by industry changes such as the reduction in the amount ATM operators earn when ATMs are used”.

It added: “A reduction in cash and banking service availability falls hardest on some of the more vulnerable groups in society including the elderly, digitally excluded people and those with low incomes.

“Additionally, a reduction in banking services can make it harder for businesses to process cash, potentially leading some to stop taking cash as payment. This can in turn lead to further difficulty for people who rely on cash.”


Since February 2022, all the major banking groups have committed to a voluntary agreement to assess the impact of every closure.

The LINK initiative 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.
