Lloyds Banking Group reveals intentions to shut down an additional 79 branches within the upcoming year. This closure wave will affect 31 Lloyds Bank branches and 48 Halifax locations, adding to the 95 closures already announced earlier this year. Following these closures, Lloyds Banking Group will maintain 531 branches across the country.
Regions like the north-west and south-east of England will see significant impacts, with 12 branches set to close in each area. Additionally, 10 branches in London are among those scheduled for closure.
The banking group clarified that over three-quarters of the branches slated for closure are within a mile of another Lloyds Banking Group site, and 95% have an alternate branch within a five-mile radius. A spokesperson from Lloyds Banking Group emphasized the wide array of banking options available to customers, including the extensive branch network, Community Bankers, Post Office services, PayPoint facilities, various apps, and a 24/7 messaging service.
