Barclays, Halifax, Lloyds are shutting 48 high street bank branches this month - full list
The next wave of high street bank closures is coming this month, with Barclays, Halifax and Lloyds set to close 48 branches in April alone. This includes one in Greater Manchester, but even more are set to follow later this year.
Barclays is closing the highest number of branches across the UK this month, with 21 banks set to disappear from the nation's high streets. It is the latest in the death knell of high street banking, which has seen more than 2000 branches close in just the past two years.
Banks blame the move to online services for their declining branch numbers, but consumer groups have raised concerns about how these closures impact elderly and vulnerable customers who might struggle to use the internet, or be able to drive further to access in-person banking services.
