NatWest is set to close more bank branches over the next few weeks as more customers take business online. The shuttered branches will join the banking giant’s larger list of at least 53 locations to close in 2025.
This move forms part of a broader trend, with thousands of branches closing in recent years. According to consumer group Which?, more than 6,300 bank and building society branches have closed since January 2015. A statement on NatWest’s website reads: “Banking has changed dramatically in recent years, with an increased demand for mobile and online services, as our customers benefit from a faster and easier way to bank. Closing a branch is a decision we take very seriously. We know it can affect those less confident with the alternatives we offer. We’ll always work hard to guide and support you through the changes and find the best way to serve you from now on.”
