The closures come as big banks look to move more of their services online.

Data from the UK’s largest cash machine network, LINK, keeps track of any planned branch closures across the UK.

Barclays has only recently brought the shutters down on 10 this week.

Here’s the full list of locations closing next:

  • 4/6 South Mall, Edmonton Green – December 12
  • 137 Ladbroke Grove, Notting Hill – November 24
  • 86 Park View, Whitley Bay – December 1
  • 81A London Rd, Waterlooville, Portsmouth Waterlooville – November 24
  • Unit A1 Longsight Shopping Centre, Manchester – November 24
  • 47 High St West, Wickham – November 28
  • 229 High St, Orpington – December 1
  • 23c New Market, Beccles – November 24
  • 67 High Street, Southwold – November 30
  • 4 Church Street, Woodbridge – December 1
  • 149 Church Road, Hove – December 8
  • 21 Baxtergate, Whitby – December 8
  • 27 Soho Square, London – December 14
  • 36 Market Square, Bicester – December 13
  • 81 High Street, Stourbridge – December 13

Many people, particularly the elderly, still rely on in-person services and the closures will make it more difficult for this demographic to access services.

But there are still a number of ways in which affected customers can access basic banking services without having to venture to the next town.

You can use one of the Post Office’s 11,635 branches to perform basic banking tasks — but not open new bank accounts or take personal loans and mortgages.
