Here is the full list of banks shutting in 2025, as well as their closure dates. Here is a full list of the Bank of Scotland branches closing down in 2025:. The vast majority of banking customers are moving online and don't need a physical branch as much as before.
But any closures can be an issue for others, particularly elderly people in rural areas who don't have access to the internet. However, if your local branch is set to close, or has recently, you have some options. You can carry out most basic banking tasks at your nearest Post Office.
You won't be able to apply for a loan or open a new bank account at one though. You can find your nearest Post Office branch by using the locator tool on its website. Meanwhile, many banks offer a mobile banking service - where they bring a bus to your area offering services you can usually get at a physical branch.
