How many banks have closed?

The number of existing branches today is about half of what it was a decade ago.

Since 2015, a staggering 6,000 bank and building societies have closed. That’s an average of 54 closures each month.

According to data from ATM provider Link, 1,500 closures were announced in the last year alone.

Why have so many banks closed?

Many banks point to the rise of online banking as a reason for these closures.

But this puts people at risk of being “financially excluded” – especially those who don’t use online banking, like the two in five (39%) over 65s who rely on bricks and mortar branches.

Closures also mean travelling further for essential banking services.

This can be particularly challenging for those who are elderly or vulnerable, as they may not have easy access to transport.

What to do if your local bank closes

Banks have to weigh up any closures against existing cash services and plug any gaps.

Banking hubs are the most common alternative, although they aren’t a ‘like-for-like' replacement for traditional banks – read more about them in our guide.

Post Offices also let you carry out some banking services, such as withdrawing or depositing cash or paying in cheques.
