Banking group NatWest is set to shut 51 more branches this year. We have the full list of closures
NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank are closing their doors to 51 more branches in 2024 as the shift to digital banking shows no signs of slowing down.
It will join the 19 NatWest and RBS branches that already put their shutters down between February and March.
The banking group revealed that the decision to close more shops follows its in-branch transactions falling by 60% in the four years to January 2023, as more customers move to online and mobile banking for speed and ease.

How to access your cash if a branch has closed near you
If you're someone who prefers in-branch interaction over online and mobile banking, it could be worth switching bank accounts and seeing if there's a provider with a branch near you.
If you're keen to stay with your bank though, there are other ways to access your money that's sitting in your bank account.
11,635 Post Office branches across the UK offer banking services, such as paying in and withdrawing money.
Banking hubs are also on the rise as more high-street providers are shutting shop. You can utilise the hubs for personal banking, for example depositing or withdrawing cash, business banking and making bill payments.
But to use one of the hubs, you must bank with a high-street provider or building society.
The Post Office operates the service and the hubs are open Monday to Friday. They also provide separate rooms for more private matters.
Currently, there are 31 banking hubs open across the UK.
