Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland to shut another 45 branches
Lloyds Banking Group, which includes Halifax and Bank of Scotland, is set to close a further 45 branches in 2024 - find out if a branch near you is closing.
More high-street banks are closing down their branches, with NatWest announcing another 19 closures and Lloyds Banking Group set to shut a further 45 branches in the spring, which includes Halifax and Bank of Scotland (BoS).
Lloyds previously said it was axing 78 branches next year, meaning the latest announcement brings its total to 123 closures in 2024. With more customers moving to online banking, this year has already seen 623 branches close their doors, including Barclays and Santander.

How to pay cash into a bank account
With an increasing number of bank branches closing, you might be wondering how to deposit money or cheques into your account.
The good news is that more banking hubs are opening due to branch closures, with plans for another 61 hubs to open in the UK, including 17 by the end of 2023 and the remainder in 2024. There are currently only seven hubs open.
Banking hubs can be used to deposit or withdraw money. You can visit any banking hub regardless of which high-street bank you’re with.
If there isn’t a banking hub near you yet, most customers can also do “everyday banking” at one of the 11,635 Post Office branches in the UK.
