Barclays to shut 14 more branches in yet another round of closures – here's the full list, plus alternatives

Seven other high street banks are also closing branches this year; read more on the closures at Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds, Nationwide, NatWest, Santander and TSB.

See if there's a 'banking hub' in your area – more should open this year

As bank branches continue to disappear from the high street, another alternative being rolled out is shared 'banking hubs'.

These operate in a similar way to bank branches, but their facilities are shared, with banks providing staff on rotation so that trained specialists from different banks are available on different days.

Four hubs are now open at the following locations:

• Brixham, Devon – 62 Fore Street, TQ5 8EF

• Cambuslang, Lanarkshire – 158 Main Street, G72 7EL

• Cottingham, East Yorkshire – 121 Hallgate, HU16 4DA

• Rochford, Essex – 38-40 West Street, SS4 1AJ

There are plans for more than 30 other hubs across the UK – for more on how they work, see our Banking hubs MSE News story.

If you need branch access and don't have alternative services nearby, consider switching

If you no longer want to stay with Barclays, you might want to consider switching to a bank that does have a local branch nearby – although bear in mind there's no guarantee that too won't close.

Banks currently offering cash switching incentives include:

• NatWest / RBS - get £200 for switching. To get the free cash, you can't have had a switch bonus from these banks since October 2017. You'll also need to complete a full switch, pay in £1,250+ and use the app within 60 days of opening the new account. 

• First Direct - get £175 for switching. Newbies who switch to First Direct can get a free £175. Plus, it's well-rated for service and offers a linked regular saver paying 7% interest. To get the free cash, you can't have ever had any account with First Direct, or have opened a current account with sister bank HSBC since January 2019.

  First Direct doesn't have any branches of its own, but First Direct customers can use HSBC branches to pay in cheques, as well as deposit and withdraw cash. So it could be an option if you have an HSBC branch nearby – though bear in mind HSBC is also closing lots of branches.

• Halifax - get get a free £175, plus each month you can choose between £5 cash, a Vue cinema ticket, two Rakuten TV movie rentals, or three digital magazines (such as Men's Health, Cosmopolitan). You must choose in advance and your choice is fixed for a year.

     To get the reward, each month you must: pay in £1,500+, stay in credit, and EITHER spend         £500+ using the debit card OR keep £5,000+ in the account at all times.
