Lloyds Bank Announces Closure of 14 UK Branches in March 2026
Lloyds Bank has confirmed plans to close 14 branches across the United Kingdom in March 2026, as the banking sector continues its retreat from high streets nationwide. This move is part of a broader trend affecting traditional banking services, with customers increasingly turning to digital alternatives.
Impact on Branch Network and Customer Services
Once these closures are completed, Lloyds Bank will have approximately 610 branches remaining in its network. According to data from MoneySavingExpert, founded by BBC and ITV personality Martin Lewis, a total of 142 Lloyds branches will have closed over a two-year period by the end of 2026. The bank emphasizes that it provides various alternatives for customers to manage their finances, including online banking via its mobile application.
In a statement, Lloyds Bank said: "When making changes to our branch network, we always look to understand the impact on our customers – including how they continue to access banking services. Because of this, we may sometimes have a Community Banker visit the area after the branch closes. Or as part of an independent review a Banking Hub or Deposit Service may be set up in a nearby location. We follow Financial Conduct Authority guidance when announcing closures."
