Lloyds Bank To Close More Branches Amid App Boom: See The Full List Of Areas For Closure

Lloyds Banking Group, which owns Halifax and Bank of Scotland, is set to close 136 branches between May this year and March 2026 as more customers opt to bank online or via mobile apps.

This latest round of closures adds to previous announcements, with Lloyds and other banks already in the process of shutting branches. Starting May 2025, a total of 136 branches—61 Lloyds, 61 Halifax, and 14 Bank of Scotland—will begin to close.

This announcement follows just a day after Emma Reynolds, the new economic secretary to the Treasury, emphasised how crucial it is for vulnerable people to access cash, highlighting the importance of brick and mortar establishments.

According to the BBC, she stated that the government is focused on guaranteeing access to cash for everyone, including through initiatives like new banking hubs, and on enhancing digital literacy.

Digital Shift Drives Branch Closures

Lloyds attributed the branch closures to increasing number of customers choosing to bank online or through their mobile devices rather than visiting physical locations. Lloyds reported that transactions at these branches have dropped by an average of 48% in the last five years as customers increasingly rely on its mobile app for payments.

Once these closures are complete, the Lloyds network will have 386 branches, Halifax will have 281, and Bank of Scotland will have 90. The bank confirmed that all staff at the closing branches will be offered other jobs within the company.

'Which?', a consumer advocacy group, reported that banks and building societies have shuttered 6,266 branches since January 2015, an average of about 53 closures every month.

A Lloyds spokesperson assured that there's no dearth of banking options, partly due to a policy allowing customers to use services at any of its brand locations—a move that a union cautioned could lead to further branch closures.

The Future of Banking: Shared Hubs And Cash Access

'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,' she said, as reported by BBC. 'Customers can also do their everyday banking at over 11,000 branches of the Post Office or in a banking hub.'

However, only 100 of these shared banking hubs—where multiple banks offer essential services in one location—currently operate across the UK, and another 100 are planned. There are worries that some of these hubs lack the necessary equipment, like printers.

Reynolds stated that the government is dedicated to opening more of these shared banking hubs to guarantee that everyone, especially vulnerable individuals, can access cash. However, she dismissed the idea of making it law that shops and service providers must accept cash and that businesses are free to choose to operate as cashless establishments if they prefer.
