Lloyds Bank and Halifax are set to close 44 UK banks in 2026, following the high street banks’ closure of a significant number throughout this year. It comes as both banks, part of the Lloyds Banking Group, have seen a shift in consumer habits, with more people choosing to bank online.

The scheduled mass closures are part of the major blow that has hit high streets in recent years. However, the group is determined to provide banking support in areas where a branch is closing.

A Lloyds Banking Group spokesperson said: “The way people are banking has changed, with over 21 million customers choosing apps to manage their money. We’re providing more choice than ever before, bringing together the best in digital convenience with our people.

“Alongside our app, our customers can use any Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland branch, the Post Office or banking hubs for their everyday banking, and deposit cash at over 30,000 PayPoint locations.”

Community Bankers set up in a community venue or banking hub and support those who do not have a local branch. You can find your nearest Community Banker on both the Lloyds Bank and Halifax websites.
