In total, 19 Lloyds Bank, 32 Halifax and four Bank of Scotland branches will close between January 2025 and September 2025 (see full list below).
It said all staff working at these branches will be offered a role at another branch or in another part of its business.
The banking giant said mobile banking is “more popular than ever”, with 19-and-a-half million people now using its app. At the same time, use of branches in these 55 locations has fallen by an average of 55% (and up to 71%) in the last five years.
However, Lloyds said all of the branch locations announced for closure have alternative options for accessing cash nearby, such as a Post Office or free-to-use ATM.
Further, 37 new ‘community bankers’ will be introduced, in addition to those already helping communities, to provide targeted banking support where a branch is closing (see below for more information and locations).
A Lloyds Banking Group spokesperson said: “Mobile banking is more popular than ever, with over 19.5 million customers choosing our app to manage, maximise and understand more about their money. Alongside our app, customers can bank online, over the phone, at a Banking Hub, a Post Office or by speaking to one of our Community Bankers.”
Nearly 170 branches flagged for closure this year alone
So far in 2024, Lloyds Banking Group has announced 169 branches will close.
Earlier this year in March, it confirmed 53 branches were set to close between July 2024 and January 2025.
In April, one Halifax branch was flagged (Portadown, NI). And in June, it confirmed 60 Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland branches were set to close from this autumn.
It added that once all previously announced closures are complete, Lloyds Banking Group will have 892 branches, split between 447 Lloyds Bank, 341 Halifax and 104 Bank of Scotland locations.

Community bankers and banking hubs
‘Community bankers’ provide face-to-face services to customers in their local areas, including making payments, account enquiries and online banking support.
These will be introduced in the following areas:
Lloyds Bank: Beccles, Brecon, Dewsbury, Fakenham, Hitchin, Kendal, Macclesfield, Matlock, Monmouth, New Milton, Thetford and Wisbech.
Halifax: Burgess Hill, Camberley, Chippenham, Didcot, Gosport, Kendal, Malton, Monmouth, Morecambe, Newbury, Northallerton, North Shields, Oswestry, Port Talbot, Runcorn, Tamworth, Thetford, Walton-on-Thames District, Winchester, Wisbech and Witney.
Bank of Scotland: Golspie, Langholm, Leven High Street and Montrose.
Meanwhile, LINK, the UK’s cash access and ATM network, has recommended a banking hub in Leeds Armley and ATMs in Bitterne, Fakenham and Thetford.
Banking hubs are a shared banking space, similar to a traditional bank branch, but available to everyone. The hubs will consist of a counter service operated by Post Office employees, where customers of any bank can withdraw and deposit cash, make bill payments and carry out regular banking transactions.
They also offer private spaces where customers can speak to community bankers from their own bank for more complicated matters that require specialist knowledge or privacy. The banks will be working on a rotating basis, so there will be staff from different banks available on different days.
In total, LINK has recommended 148 banking hubs following a raft of bank branch closure announcements across the industry.
