It comes just one week after Natwest confirmed it was planning to axe another 19 branches.
The latest closures mean 623 branches have been shut so far this year as banks look to move away from the high street.
Data from the UK’s largest cash machine network, LINK, keeps track of any planned branch closures across the UK.
Lloyds is set to close the bulk of the branches in March and April next year, with some also closing in August and a tranche in November.
It means that at least 276 branches will be shut across Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland this year and next.
There has been a massive exodus of branches from the high street in recent years.
The largest number of closures announced this year have been Barclays branches, with the bank saying 185 of its sites are set to shut.
Lloyds is second with 131, followed by NatWest with 116, Halifax with 94, Virgin Money with 40, Bank of Scotland with 32, Ulster Bank with 10, TSB with nine, Royal Bank of Scotland with five, and one Nationwide branch.
