On the closures a NatWest spokesperson said: “We have made the difficult decision to close these branches due to the changing ways our customers choose to bank”.

“We are committed to supporting those impacted and ensuring alternative access to cash and banking services remain available, including through Post Office branches.”

In response to the wave of bank branch closures, the Government has assisted in the rollout of Banking Hubs to help areas impacted by locations being shut down.

These are areas in communities, which see multiple banks operate from the site on different days of the week to ensure customers have access to physical services.

Jenny Ross, Which? Money Editor, said: “Access to cash remains hugely important for a significant minority who use it to pay for everyday essentials and keep track of their spending.

“The raft of branch closures that have happened over recent years have had devastating consequences for lots of communities, often forcing people to travel great distances to visit a branch.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

“Schemes introduced by the banking industry to protect these services, such as banking hubs, are a good start in plugging gaps left by closing physical branches, but they must be rolled out much more quickly if consumers are to feel their benefits.”
