Lloyds Banking Group has announced plans to close a further 26 branches in March 2023, leaving customers wondering which Lloyds banks are closing down and which Halifax branches are closing?

Lloyds Banking Group, which owns Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland brands, has announced further closures for Lloyds and Halifax branches across the UK. The group shared plans in January 2023 to close a further 40 branches after previously shutting down 66 branches in 2022. Fast forward to March and the group have now confirmed further branches will be closing their doors.  

The decision is a result of the changing nature of the Group's customer base and an increasing number of people moving to online banking in recent years, as banks turn to cost-cutting measures. The shock new closures come on the back of additional NatWest bank closures, Nationwide closing branches and the news that HSBC is closing 69 of its branches too. Here, we look at which Lloyds branches are closing following the latest announcement...

Will Lloyds close more branches?

It's not clear whether more Lloyds will close in the near future, but as we have seen, the company have announced two lots of branch closures plans in 2023 so far, so who knows what the rest of the year holds.

The latest announcement marks the third wave of closures from Lloyds Banking Group. Lloyds bank closures were first announced in 2022, then January 2023 brought news of a further 40 closures. Late March saw more news of branch closures for Lloyds customers.

Vim Maru, group retail director at Lloyds Banking Group, has previously said: "Just like many other high street businesses, fewer customers are choosing to visit our branches. Our branch network is an important way for us to support our customers, but we need to adapt to the significant growth in customers choosing to do most of their everyday banking online."
