Lloyds Banking Group has confirmed plans to shut more UK high street branches as part of a move to close 250 locations in 2026 and 2027.

More than 20 Lloyds Bank branches shut in October, while a further 31 locations were closed across the country earlier in the year.

Lloyds Banking Group is also closing branches of its other franchises, including Halifax, while the Bank of Scotland saw four closures earlier in the year.

Over a dozen Lloyds branches will close this month and next, followed by another 14 in 2027. Meanwhile, 14 Halifax locations will close by the end of the year, with another six closures planned for 2027.

The news comes weeks after Lloyds Banking Group, which also owns Halifax, confirmed that it is shutting down the Halifax banking app ahead of plans to scrap the Halifax brand entirely.

The app was removed from online stores on October 31. Halifax customers now need to bank with Lloyds and use the Lloyds app to access their accounts.

Are any Halifax banks closing this year?

The city centre, while remaining a retail hub for Swansea, has low employment in comparison to other cities, resulting in less money being spent and compounding the slow decline of high street shopping and economic prosperity in the area.

The closures are the latest to hit the UK high street after numerous restaurant and shopping chains closed their doors over the course of the year.

Stationery chain Typo confirmed closures across the UK, and HMV announced last month that it will be closing its iconic London Oxford Street location three years after reopening due to rising rent.

Earlier this year, TG Jones, formerly WH Smith, announced shop closures, along with the Premier Inn-owned restaurant and pub chains Beefeater and Brewers Fayre.
