Bank branch closures alert: Lloyds Banking Group confirms 136 locations to shut for good - full list

The banking group has announced that it will cease operations at 61 Lloyds Bank, 61 Halifax and 14 Bank of Scotland branches between May of this year and March 2026.

This latest round of closures comes only weeks after the banking giant overhauled its branch network to allow customers of Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland to use locations across any of its brands.

In its announcement, Lloyds cited changing consumer habits as the reasoning behind sites closing down as more Britons opt to use mobile services in lieu of physical banking.

Furthermore, the financial institution confirmed that all workers in branches affected by the closures will be offered jobs elsewhere within the banking group.

A spokeswoman for Lloyds said: “Over 20 million customers are using our apps for on-demand access to their money and customers have more choice and flexibility than ever for their day-to-day banking.

“Alongside our apps, customers can also use telephone banking, visit a community banker or use any Halifax, Lloyds or Bank of Scotland branch, giving access to many more branches.

“Customers can also do their everyday banking at over 11,000 branches of the Post Office or in a Banking Hub.”

Most areas of the country have seen their bank branch networks decimated in the last decade which has exacerbated existing anxieties over access to cash services.

According to research conducted by Which?, Yorkshire and the Humber is the region with the worst ratio of bankbranches to population in Britain. As it stands, the region only has 248 branches left to serve a population of 5.6 million people.

This is the equivalent to 4.4 branches per 100,000 people, which every Yorkshire resident is sharing their local bank branch with an estimated 22,557 others people.

In January 2015, Yorkshire and the Humber had 728 open branches, which is the equivalent to 13 branches per 100,000 people. However, this number has fallen by two thirds to 480.

Scotland is currently considered to have has the "best" access to branches, at 6.9 per 100,000 people, however the country's population is spread unevenly which means rural areas remain worse-off.
