A number of bank branches in the North East are due to close this month in areas including Gateshead, Washington, County Durham and Northumberland\"AA number of NatWest branches are set to close across the UK(Image: PA)<\/p>\n

Nearly 80 banks in the UK are set to shut in June, including sites in the North East. Among the closures are 16 Lloyds branches, 15 Halifax, 24 Natwest, 23 Santander, and one TSB.<\/p>\n

The affected North East branches are in Gateshead<\/a>, Washington, County Durham<\/a> and Northumberland<\/a>. A full list of sites and their date of closure is provided below.<\/p>\n

According to a report from consumer group Which?, banks <\/a>and building societies have closed over 6,300 high street branches at a rate of 53 per month over the last decade. This represents 64% of the branches which were open back in 2015.<\/p>\n

Which? data reveals that Natwest <\/a>Group – which consists of NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank – has closed 1,455 branches. Meanwhile, Lloyds <\/a>Banking Group, made up of Lloyds Bank, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, has shut down 1,363 sites.<\/p>\n

Barclays has also reduced its network, with 1,236 branches now closed, reports the Mirror<\/a>. Banks say the decline in high street branches has been driven by a rapid increase in online and mobile banking, and a decline in the use of physical branches.<\/p>\n

If your local branch is closing, you should check if a “banking hub” has opened in your area. Banking hubs are located in shared public spaces on the high street, such as libraries or community centres, for customers who need face-to-face support. Each bank takes turns occupying the space on a different day, but you don’t necessarily need to be a customer of that particular bank to use some of the services.<\/p>\n
