The latest research carried out by consumer watchdog Which? found that over 6,000 bank branches have been shut down since 2015 in a blow to local communities.
Previously, the organisation warned the "alarming rate" of closures could result in three million Britons being left without sufficient access to physical cash services.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Bank branch closures have hit 6,000 since 2015, according to Which? GETTY Lloyds Banking Group, which is made up of Lloyds Bank, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, has shut 1,146 sites over the period.
High street banks and building societies have been told to fill the gaps in local cash provision under new rules proposed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
New legislation that came into effect last month has given the regulator greater powers to make sure savers could withdraw and deposit cash.
In recent months, new community banking hubs and "super ATMs" have been set up in response to the rate of bank branch closures.
