A MAJOR bank has announced it will close 80 more branches this year.
Lloyds Banking Group will be shutting the doors of yet another raft of bank branches in 2023.
Lloyds is shutting an extra 80 branches this year
The majority closing include Halifax, Natwest and Lloyds banks.
But a few Royal Bank of Scotland and Bank of Scotland branches will also be shutting shop.
The closures come as major high street banks opt to transition more of their banking services online.
Banks across the country have scaled back their branch networks.
The number of people using in-person services has been falling for years as more and more people do their banking online.
During the pandemic this increased, as some of those who had stuck to bank branches were forced to learn how to bank from home.
Some of the locations where branches will close include London, Edinburgh and Cambridge.

Lloyds Banking Group already announced a raft of closures for this year following closures last year.
In January, the banking giant revealed 40 branches would be lost from the UK’s high street.
It said it would close 18 Halifax sites and 22 Lloyds branches between April and June this year.
That adds to 64 closures announced since the beginning of the year, with Barclays and TSB saying they will shut 24 sites between them.
And just this week, Barclays said it would shut more than a dozen banks this year as well.
The bank is set to close branches across England and Wales, with sites in Cambridge, Llandeilo and Holmes Chapel among those affected.
All of the branches are set to close their doors in June.
We’ve rounded up the full list of bank branches set to close in 2023.
