Nearly 2,000 banks have closed in the UK in three years since the launch of an initiative designed to protect access to cash on the high street - with more than 200 already scheduled to shut this year. In January alone, 81 banks have either closed or will shut up shop by the end of the month. Another 33 banks will vanish from the high streets in February, 29 in March, and 33 in April. So far in 2025, 235 branches of major banks have either closed already or announced their intention to close at a fixed date this year. Another 28 are earmarked for closure, but no end date has been set.
It follows on from 500 banks that closed last year, 634 in 2023, and 103 in 2022. In total 1,821 bank branches have shut or announced their intention to close since February 2022, when a voluntary agreement saw the major banking groups commit to assessing the impact of every closure.
You can see the latest bank closures where you live by using our interactive map below. That’s an average of around 46 closures per month or 11 per week. The LINK initiative to assess the impact of closures - which was agreed by all the major banks including Barclays, HSBC, Natwest, Lloyds, and Halifax - was set up to ensure vulnerable customers and small businesses were not left behind in the switch to cashless payments and virtual banking.
When closures leave communities without any local bank, banking hubs or free ATMs are set up to fill the gap. The wave of bank closures has affected every part of the UK, with 1,470 lost or about to close in England alone, plus another 194 in Scotland, 109 in Wales, 48 in Northern Ireland, and one in the Isle of Wight.
