Lloyds Banking Group is to close a further 136 branches.
Britain’s biggest mortgage lender said It will shut 61 Lloyds, 61 Halifax and 14 Bank of Scotland sites between May this year and March 2026.
All workers affected by the closures would be offered alternative roles, the group said.
Lloyds blamed the move on customers shifting away from banking in person to using online services, meaning there was less need for physical sites.
