Santander has announced the closure of multiple bank branches across the UK, including in Wales after the company was impacted by “changing customer behaviour.”<\/p>\n

Across the UK, 44 branches that are closing<\/a> will be replaced by Community Bankers, to allow customers to have face-to-face support when needed.<\/p>\n

Within Wales, six Santander branches will be closing as the bank claims demand is declining with people moving to online banking and over the phone support.<\/p>\n

After the closures are implemented, the Santander network in the UK will consist of just 305 branches.<\/p>\n

Around 291 colleagues will be at risk of redundancy if the proposals proceed after consultation with unions has been completed, but there will be redeployment opportunities for some workers.<\/p>\n

The bank said it had seen an increase in customers banking digitally, with 96% of all transactions now being completed online with banking apps gaining popularity.<\/p>\n

Since 2019, there has been a 64% rise in digital transactions, while financial transactions completed in branches reduced by 66% in the last seven years.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Santander UK, said: “In response to a continuing and sizeable shift towards customers using digital banking, we are making changes to our branches to better support our customers.<\/p>\n

“We will continue to invest in both our branch network – comprising of full-service branches, counter-free branches, reduced-hour branches, Santander Locals, and our increasingly popular Work Caf\u00e9s \u2013 as well as our digital banking services, so we can be there to support our customers however they choose to bank with us.”<\/p>\n

Closures in Wales will begin at the end of April with others closing in May.<\/p>\n
