Barclays is on target to axe 103 bank branches this year alone.
The bank announced in March that 13 would shut and confirmed a further 27 closures earlier this week.
This is on top of the 63 that have already closed their doors since the start of 2022.

It comes less than a month after the Government confirmed new laws to protect cash.
Barclays defended the move and claimed customers are now completing fewer than one in ten transactions in a branch.
But Rocio Concha, director of policy and advocacy at Which? warns: ‘There remains a significant minority, for whom cash is a vital lifeline to pay for everyday essentials and keep track of their spending, that aren’t yet ready or willing to make that switch [to new technology].’
A Barclays spokesman says: ‘We continue to review and adjust our branch footprint to ensure it reflects the way that our customers are increasingly choosing to do their banking.’
