Bank closures are set to continue throughout 2026, with Lloyds Bank and Halifax already confirming a combined total of 54 branches closing next year. The major high street banks, both part of Lloyds Banking Group, are reducing the number of branches across their network as a result of a shift in consumer habits, which is leading to an increase in digital banking services being used.
While many branches will cease operations  within the next year, the banking group is committed to providing additional support for those affected by the previous and future closures.
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.”
Full closure reviews of each bank branch can be found on the Lloyds Bank website and the Halifax website. The list of the 2026 closures can be found below:
