Major banks in the UK, including NatWest, Barclays and Halifax, are closing hundreds of bank branches across the country this year.

The move will leave thousands of customers without access to an in-person branch, with Lloyds and Virgin Money also announcing a string of bank closures throughout 2023.

All of the banks have cited an increase in the number of people banking online as a reason for the closures.

These are all the branches set to shut in October.
