banks. That includes 25 branches of NatWest, 24 Santander branches, 15 Lloyds banks, 13 Halifax branches, seven Bank of Scotland branches, and one TSB. READ MORE: Mars confirms return of

shut in July and August. You can find out if any branches are due to close near you this summer, using our interactive map. Article continues below Since a voluntary agreement saw the major

banking groups commit to assessing the impact of every closure in February 2022, 1,879 bank branches have shut or announced their intention to close. That’s an average of around 50 closures

announced per month or 12 per week. 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. When closures leave communities without any local

bank, banking hubs or free ATMs are set up to fill the gap. SIGN UP TO MIRROR MONEY'S NEWSLETTER FOR THE LATEST ADVICE AND NEWS From universal credit to furlough, employment rights,

closures come as people increasingly do their banking online. A new report from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) found that 9.7 million people, or about 18% of adults, visit their bank

branch at least once a month, although that has slumped from 40% in 2017. Around 3.3m people (7% of current account holders) had not done any online banking in the last year. The most common

reason people did not use online banking was that they preferred to speak to someone in person or on the phone, followed by concerns about security. The FCA survey, which covered the 12

months to May 2024, also found that one in five current account holders (21%) had experienced the closure of a bank branch they used regularly. Nick Quin, Head of Financial Inclusion at

LINK, said: “While more people are comfortable using digital payments and banking online, the Financial Conduct Authority recently published new data highlighting that over 13 million people

across the UK still visit bank branches at least once a year. “Digital still doesn't work for everyone and we know that people from more deprived areas are more reliant on cash.

That's why it's our job to make sure that every high street continues to have free access to cash for as long as it is needed.” Cat Farrow, Customer and Strategy Director for Cash

Access UK, said: “Banking is changing as more people and businesses choose to pay digitally, but it’s vital we continue to support people who rely on cash and face-to-face banking. Shared

banking hubs are a great solution as they can serve nearly all banking customers with basic cash services and on a rotating basis, customers can speak to a community banker about more

complex banking issues. Article continues below "We recently reached our latest milestone with the opening of our 150th banking hub in Kirkham, Lancashire and are excited to continue

rolling them out in communities where needed.” READ MORE: Primark's 'stunning' £26 summer dress that 'looks unreal on'
