Barclays has announced it will close another 15 branches on top of the hundreds of branches from other major banks including NatWest and Halifax already set to shut across the UK in 2023.

Barclays is set to close 15 more branches over the next few months in its latest round of closures. The UK bank said it would close 12 branches in England and one in Wales, and two in Scotland in its most recent cull.

The majority of Barclays’ England branches are set to close in August, with some shutting their doors in September. The two branches in Scotland will also shut in August, while the Wales site is still waiting on a final closure date.

Barclays announced last year that it was planning to close 132 branches, many of which have since closed. Several other major banks, including Halifax, NatWest and Lloyds are also shutting hundreds of sites across the UK.

The closures are believed to be down to many people making the switch to online banking services, along with a decrease in footfall that has failed to recover since the pandemic. Barclays said in a recent statement: “As visits to branches continue to fall, we need to adapt to provide the best service for all our customers.

“Where there is no longer enough demand to support a branch, we maintain an in-person presence though our Barclays Local network, live in over 200 locations, based in libraries, town halls, mobile vans and our new banking pods.”

What should I do if my bank is closing?

If you’re worried about your local branch closing, you can always switch to another bank that has a branch open in your area if you prefer to access banking services in person. People also have access to most bank services at their local Post Office.
