Britain’s high streets are preparing for another round of bank branch closures as multiple financial institutions are shutting down in March 2025.
Customers have become increasingly concerned about the “alarming rate” of closures with more than 6,000 branches shutting down over the last 10 years.
As it stands, 19 bank branch closures are set to take pace this coming month in a blow to Britons who rely on physical cash services.
These closures come from Lloyds Banking Group, which is made up of Lloyds Bank, Halifax and Bank of Scotland.
Britons are being urged to check if their local branch is shutting down to see if they will need to make alternative arrangements.
