Bank branch closures are sweeping the UK with Lloyds, Barclays, Halifax and NatWest among the financial institutions leaving the high street in this month.
Changing consumer habits and decision-making from banking groups has accelerated over 6,000 locations shutting down since 2015, according to Which?.
Some 40 branches are closing this month with many communities being left with no bank in their local area.
NatWest is set to shut down the most branches in July, with 16 set to shut for good.
This is closely followed by Halifax which is closing 12 locations.
Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland and Barclays will close seven, four and one branches, respectively.
