Four Bristol branches are among 136 being closed by Lloyds Banking Group. It announced the cost-cutting exercise yesterday.
The Bristol branches of Lloyds will close in Clifton, Patchway and Bishopsworth. Halifax announced it will close its branch in Kingswood.
The closure plan comes weeks after Lloyds made a change to allow customers of Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland to any of its brands for in-person banking. It said that all workers at the affected branches will be offered jobs elsewhere in the company.
The closure plan will bring the Lloyds brand down to 386 branches, Halifax down to 281 branches and Bank of Scotland to 90 branches once completed. Lloyds said the decision was down to customers shifting away from banking in person to using mobile services.
Transactions across these branches fell by an average of 48% over the past five years as customers used its app more for payments, Lloyds said. A spokeswoman for the business said: “Over 20 million customers are using our apps for on-demand access to their money and customers have more choice and flexibility than ever for their day-to-day banking.
“Alongside our apps, customers can also use telephone banking, visit a community banker or use any Halifax, Lloyds or Bank of Scotland branch, giving access to many more branches. Customers can also do their everyday banking at over 11,000 branches of the Post Office or in a Banking Hub.”
