Barclays announces a string of further branch closures

Barclays has said it will shut another 27 bank branches, bringing the total number of its closures to 103 this year.

The bank had already said 63 of its outlets would shut in 2022.

A Barclays spokesperson said: “We continue to review and adjust our branch footprint to ensure it reflects the way that our customers are increasingly choosing to do their banking.

“We will always give twelve weeks’ notice of any branch closures, explaining the rationale for the decision, as well as highlighting alternative branches and ways to bank.

“This includes working with the local community to find different, more flexible ways for our colleagues to continue to provide local banking support, such as through pop-up presences.”
