The move follows similar announcements from other major banks. Lloyds Banking Group, for example, has confirmed plans to close more than 100 branches across the UK by the end of March as part of a programme announced last year.
Campaigners and MPs have previously raised concerns about the continued loss of high street banking services, warning the changes could disproportionately impact vulnerable customers, including those without reliable internet access or transport to travel to remaining branches.
