Major bank to close 14 more branches this year – see the full list
A MAJOR high street bank has announced that it is to shut more than a dozen branches this year in its latest round of closures.
Barclays is set to shut the doors on another 14 locations across the country.
The bank is set to close branches across England and Wales, with sites in Cambridge, Llandeilo and Holmes Chapel among those affected.
All of the branches are set to close their doors in June.
Barclays has already announced a number of closures earlier this year.
Data from LINK, the UK’s largest cash machine network, shows when banks are set to close over the next five months.
In this month alone 24 branches have closed, and April will see another 52 shut their doors for the last time.
Barclays has previously said that more customers are now choosing to do their banking online and on apps, rather than visiting in person.
Here’s the new list of Barclays branches scheduled for closure:
- Llandeilo
- Mold
- Saltburn-by-the-Sea
- Tiverton
- Honiton
- Caterham
- Wallington
- Folkestone
- Chippenham
- Holmes Chapel
- Holmfirth
- Bootle
- Loughton
- Cambridge
Barclays has been contacted for comment.
Typically if there are no banks in a town, you should be able to do some basic banking at your local Post Office.
Many banks also offer a mobile banking service.
This is where your bank brings a bus to your local area that has the services that are usually available at your branch.
You should call up your bank to see if it runs a banking bus and they will be able to tell you where and when it will be parked.
Other banks use buildings such as village halls or libraries to offer mobile banking services.
