A FURTHER 62 branches are shutting their doors this month in yet another blow to the high street. <\/p>\n
Barclays, Natwest, Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and Virgin Money are all pulling down the shutters on locations in October. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Data from LINK which is the UK's largest cash machine network shows that 62 high street branches are closing this month.<\/p>\n
Banks have been closing up and down the country all year and unfortunately more will be shutting shop.<\/p>\n
Closures will continued up until the end of this year and a further 36 branches are set to close in 2024.<\/p>\n
Of those ones closing this month, several have already closed for good with some shutting as early as October 3.<\/p>\n
Barclays will be closing 15 branches while Natwest is closing 19.<\/p>\n Of the three Halifax branches pulling down their shutters, two closed yesterday (October 4) while the third has its final day of trading today (October 5).<\/p>\n Bank of Scotland, Lloyds and Virgin Money are all closing eight branches. <\/p>\n Here is the full list of bank branches that are closing – and have already closed – in October:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Many people still rely on the face-to-face contact that a trip to the local high street branch can offer.<\/p>\n And some of these closures will make it difficult for some people, particularly the elderly to access the services they need.<\/p>\n However, there are still a number of ways in which customers can access basic banking services once their local branch has closed.<\/p>\n If you have been left stuck by one of these closures you should be able to do most basic banking tasks at your local Post Office.<\/p>\n This will not apply if you need to apply for a loan or open a new bank account but they should be able to help you with basic banking.<\/p>\n Many banks also offer a mobile\u00a0banking service\u00a0where the bank brings a bus to your area where services that are usually available at your branch can be obtained.<\/p>\n If you contact your bank they will be able to tell you if they offer that service and when and where the bus will be.<\/p>\n Other banks use buildings such as village halls or libraries to offer\u00a0mobile banking services.<\/p>\n If you are unsure how to access the services that your local branch used to offer it is best to give them a call and ask what options are available.<\/p>\n Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
