Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland to close 292 branches in 2024/25 – here's the full list, plus alternatives

Lloyds branch front

Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, which are all part of the Lloyds Banking Group, will shut at least 292 of their bank branches in 2024 and 2025, the Group has confirmed.

Below we've rounded up the planned closures for each bank and what the alternatives are if you still want face-to-face banking.

Click on your bank's name for a full list of the branch closures announced so far:

  • Lloyds – 19 more branches closing (128 in total).

  • Halifax – 32 more branches closing (119 in total).

  • Bank of Scotland – four more branches closing (45 in total).

Alternative ways to bank face-to-face with Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland

Here's what to try if your local branch is closing:

  • Check if a Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland 'community banker' is visiting your area. Community bankers will have a dedicated office space in a local venue for you to chat in private and can offer support with account enquiries, though they don't offer cash or counter services. Check if a community banker is visiting your area and whether you'll need to book an appointment on the Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland websites.

  • Head to a nearby Post Office. You can withdraw cash and make deposits into your bank account via the Post Office.

For full details on your options, see our Bank branch alternatives guide.

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

If you no longer want to stay with Lloyds, Halifax or Bank of Scotland, you might want to consider switching to a bank that does have a local branch nearby – though bear in mind there's no guarantee that too won't close.

Currently, there's only one bank offering a switching incentive to newbies:

  • First Direct – get a free £175 for switching, plus access to a 7% regular saver, fee-free spending overseas and a £250 0% overdraft. To get the free cash, you can't have ever had any account with First Direct, and you can't have had an account with HSBC since January 2018.

    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 has also closed lots of branches.

Other banks may offer switching incentives in the near future, so keep an eye on our Best bank accounts guide for more, including the best accounts for savings interest and longer-term rewards.
