Halifax, Lloyds and Bank of Scotland announce 53 branches to close - see the full list

Lloyds Banking Group has set out plans to axe another 53 of its high street bank branches over the coming months and into 2025.

The latest raft of closures will include 21 Lloyds branches, 22 Halifax outlets and 10 Bank of Scotland sites.

Many banks have been slashing back their high street presence as customers increasingly do their banking online.

Customers who will be losing their local branch are urged to check if a banking hub is being set up near them, offering certain services such as withdrawing cash.

These will often be located in shared public spaces such as a library or a community centre.

This is the full list of the branch closures and when they will take place:

Goverment minister Bim Afolami recently spoke out to urge bank bosses to retain their in-person services.

He said in response to a question in Parliament: "It is imperative that banks and building societies recognise the needs of all their customers, including those who still need to use in-person services.

"The impact of branch closures must be mitigated where possible so that all customers, wherever they live, continue to have appropriate access to banking services."

Previous data from consumer group Which? showed more than 5,700 branches had closed for good since January 2015.

The Bank of England decided to maintain the base interest rate at 5.25 percent in its latest decision.

Experts are predicting the central bank could start to drop the rate as inflation has consistently been easing in recent months.
