A major British banking group is set to close 136 more high street bank branches as part of its strategy to reduce costs and increase digitisation.

The closures announced by Lloyds Banking Group will include 61 Lloyds branches, 61 Halifax branches, and 14 Bank of Scotland branches, with the shutdowns scheduled between May 2025 and March 2026.

Locations include Bristol, Manchester, Cardiff, London, and Edinburgh. See below for the full list of branches closing, and the dates on which they are expected to shut.

Lloyds has said that all workers at the affected branches will be offered jobs elsewhere in the company.

The announcement follows a recent shake-up in Lloyds' branch network, allowing customers of Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland to access in-person banking services at any of the group’s locations.

Lloyds attributed the closures to the ongoing shift from in-person banking to mobile services. Earlier this month, the company revealed plans to shut offices in Dunfermline, Scotland and in Liverpool, impacting more than 1,000 workers.

A spokesperson for the business said: “Over 20 million customers are using our apps for on-demand access to their money and customers have more choice and flexibility than ever for their day-to-day banking.

But rural areas, in particular, often face challenges with poor broadband or mobile signal, making online banking difficult to access.

The spokesperson added: “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.

“Customers can also do their everyday banking at over 11,000 branches of the Post Office or in a Banking Hub.”

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requires banks and building societies to ensure communities still have access to cash and basic banking services when branches close.

This may include installing ATMs or creating banking hubs in Post Offices where basic banking services can be accessed.
