Barclays has announced the closures of 12 more bank branches across England and Wales in another blow for customers who value face-to-face banking.
The latest closures, which follow 15 other sites revealed to be shutting down last month, will take place in August.
Two branches in Birmingham as well as ones in Windsor, Worksop, Biggleswafe and Frome are all expected to close in the next three months.
Sites in Brecon, Newark, Framlingham, Diss, Harleston and Wilmslow will also be shut, forcing customers to go elsewhere for in-person services.
Barclays has announced the closures of 12 more bank branches across England and Wales
The latest closures will take place in August.
The announcement means Barclays will now shut at least 122 banks by the end of 2023, including eight which closed earlier this month.
Barclays said it is closing the branches because they have noticed drops in the number of people visiting, with customers opting to use online banking services instead.
By the end of this year HSBC, NatWest, Nationwide, Barclays, Virgin Money, TSB, Santander and Lloyds will have shut down 2,277 outlets since 2019.
But Barclays is the worst offender with 614 branches either closed down or set for closure over that period, according to Which?.
A Barclays spokesperson said: ‘As visits to branches continue to fall, we need to adapt to provide the best service for all our customers.
‘Where there is no longer enough demand to support a branch, we maintain an in-person presence though our Barclays Local network, live in over 200 locations, based in libraries, town halls, mobile vans and our new banking pods.
‘We also support access to cash with our cashback without purchase service, 24-hour deposit-taking ATMs and by working alongside the Post Office and Cash Access UK.’
