LLOYDS Banking Group has announced it will be shutting 136 branches across the UK.

It will close 61 Lloyds, 61 Halifax and 14 Bank of Scotland (BoS) branches between May this year and March 2026.

The news comes less than a week after NatWest also announced dozens of closuresCredit: AFP

Lloyds blamed the decision to shut the branches on customers shifting away from banking in person to using mobile services.

It said that all workers at the affected branches will be offered jobs elsewhere in the company.

The closure plan comes just weeks after Lloyds announced a major change to its bank branches.

The banking giant revealed plans to let customers access services at any branch regardless of which brand they bank with.

A spokesperson for the banking giant said about today’s closure plans: “Over 20million customers are using our apps for on-demand access to their money and customers have more choice and flexibility than ever for their day-to-day banking.
