Major banks have announced that half a dozen branches will shut in our region this year
Major banks have announced that half a dozen branches will shut in Merseyside this year - and our map shows the closures near you.
Another two banks - the Barclays in Allerton Road, Liverpool, and Lloyds in Chapel Lane, Formby - will close in May, and the NatWest in West Kirby is earmarked for closure in July. Announcing the latest closures on its website, NatWest said: “Banking has changed dramatically in recent years, with an increased demand for mobile and online services, as our customers benefit from a faster and easier way to bank. Closing a branch is a decision we take very seriously.
“Because of this, we may sometimes have a Community Banker visit the area after the branch closes. Or as part of an independent review, a Banking Hub may be set up in a nearby location.” 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.
