TSB to shut 70 branches across the UK next year - here's a full list of sites set to close

If you choose to bank online or over the phone, TSB has a step-by-step guide on how to set up either telephone or online banking.

For those who want to bank in branch, TSB says it will be introducing a number of 'pop-up' sites in some areas where its high street branches are closing, including in Bishops Stortford, Camberley, Fort William, Greenwich, Harlesden, Louth, Redcar, Stranraer, Thurso, and Tunbridge Wells.

TSB customers can also deposit and withdraw money from any of the Post Office's 11,500 branches. The Post Office also enables customers to check their balance and pay in cheques. Use the Post Office's branch finder tool to locate your nearest one.

If you need branch access and your outlet is closing, consider switching

If you no longer want to stay with TSB (or you don't have a Post Office nearby), you might want to consider switching to a bank that does have a local branch nearby – although bear in mind there's no guarantee it too won't close in future. 

Banks with branches that currently have switching incentives include the following: 

• Santander, which is offering a £130 cash bonus, plus Santander newbies who apply via Money.co.uk also get a £20 Amazon voucher. 
  
  
• Nationwide, which is offering a free £100 cash bonus, plus 2% fixed interest on up to £1,500 and a 0% overdraft.
