Barclays has announced 20 more bank branches will close in 2024 and 2025.
Last month, the bank confirmed 18 other branches would close, after earmarking 180 sites for closure in 2023 and 184 in 2022, according to Which?.
Barclays said they “carefully” look at how branches are being used and how customers are banking other ways when deciding whether to close a branch.
In the “reasons for closure” notices for the branches, they explain more customers are opting to bank online, via app or on the telephone.

GB News has contacted Barclays asking for comment.
Thousands of bank branches have been removed from the high street over the past decade, sparking concern for customers who aren’t comfortable with managing their money via digital and telephone services.
Banks and building societies closed 5,818 branches since January 2015, according to Which?, including 645 sites shutting in 2023.
Nationwide has become the provider with the most outlets remaining across the UK, with 605 branches still open.

Under its Branch Pledge promise, the building society has vowed not to leave any town or city in which it is based until at least 2026.
Debbie Crosbie, Chief Executive of Nationwide Building Society, said: “Nationwide is different. We give customers a choice about how they do their banking and we support the British High Street.
“Because our customers value face-to-face contact, and we’re owned by them, we act in their interests.”
Between January 2019 and December 2024, Nationwide has shut 72 branches, according to Which?.
