Halifax is set to close more than a dozen more branches in September as high street banks pivot away from in-person banking. The past few years have seen scores of bank branches shutter, with retail banking chains saying customers are increasingly doing personal banking online, reducing the need for large bricks and mortar estates.
Halifax previously revealed 15 branches would be operating for the final time in September, with further closures taking place in October and November. Halifax is owned by Lloyds Banking Group, which is also the parent company of Lloyds Bank, and Bank of Scotland. Some Lloyds and Bank of Scotland branches will also be closing in the coming months. Separately, the Halifax branding will soon disappear from remaining stores due to a rebrand.
Close to 200 Halifax sites will become Lloyds branches in 2027 as part of the brand consolidation.
At the time of the announcement, Lloyds Banking Group’s chief executive of consumer relationships, Jas Singh, said: “As Halifax changes to Lloyds, our Halifax customers will keep everything they know and love today – the same fantastic app design, the same friendly faces in our branches – even the same sort code and account number.”
The September closures come after Halifax shuttered 25 branches in June, saying decisions on the future of branches are “based on a range of factors, including how customers are choosing to bank and the availability of nearby services”.
