Banking giant HSBC has said it will close 114 branches across the UK from April next year as customers using them have fallen significantly since the pandemic.
Jackie Uhi, HSBC UK’s managing director of UK distribution, said: “People are changing the way they bank and footfall in many branches is at an all-time low, with no signs of it returning.
"Banking remotely is becoming the norm for the vast majority of us."
HSBC has said that around 100 staff could leave the bank as a result of plans to axe 114 UK branches from April next year.
The group stressed that it hopes to redeploy all its employees at affected branches to other roles within HSBC, either to other branches or to a different position.
It plans to speak to all staff in the branches due to close but it estimates that around 100 employees could leave.
It comes as the bank said it has seen a significant decline in customers visiting their local branch since the pandemic, many of whom have turned to digital banking services instead.
Here is a list of all sites due for closure and when they will shut.
