Lloyds Banking Group is to close 60 more branches as it shifts further to online banking.
Britain’s biggest lender said it would close 24 Lloyds branches, as well as 19 Bank of Scotland and 17 Halifax sites.
The bank said use of its mobile banking app was up 27% over the past two years, and there was a 12% rise in regular users of its online banking system. Now 18.6m people bank online and 15m use the app.
Retail director Vim Maru said: “Just like many other high street businesses, fewer customers are choosing to visit our branches.”
The group currently has 739 Lloyds branches, 553 Halifax branches and 184 Bank of Scotland sites.
