<\/p>\nA MAJOR bank with 1,500 branches is set to close more locations for good within hours as they continue to disappear from the high street.<\/p>\n
Barclays is pulling the plug on three of its branches on Friday, September 29.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The closures come as big banks make the move of transferring more of their services online.<\/p>\n
Data from the UK's largest cash machine network,\u00a0LINK, keeps track of any planned\u00a0branch closures\u00a0across the UK.<\/p>\n
The three locations closing in the UK on September 29 are:<\/p>\n
It comes after a number of banks across the nation closed their doors for the final time this month, including Barclays branches in St Ives, St Andrews and Haverhill – which all shut down on September 8.<\/p>\n Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and\u00a0Halifax\u00a0are among those impacted across locations such as London,\u00a0Suffolk\u00a0and\u00a0Newcastle.<\/p>\n HSBC closed four branches\u00a0earlier this month (September 5).<\/p>\n The locations of these included:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n And Santander shut three of its banks the following day, which were:<\/p>\n Meanwhile,\u00a0Barclays pulled down the shutters\u00a0on four of its banks for the final time on September 1.<\/p>\n It has already\u00a0announced more nearly 70 closures\u00a0this year.<\/p>\n While the vast majority of banking customers are moving online, branches closing can leave some in the dark.<\/p>\n Many elderly people, particularly those in rural areas, rely on physical branches to carry out day-to-day tasks.<\/p>\n However, if you've been left stuck by a recent bank branch closure in your local area, you have some options.<\/p>\n Typically if there are no banks in a town, you should be able to do some basic banking in your local Post Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n You won't be able to apply for a loan or open a new bank account at one though.<\/p>\n Many banks offer a mobile\u00a0banking service\u00a0– where your bank brings a bus to your area offering services you can usually get at your bank.<\/p>\n You should get in touch with your bank who will be able to tell you if they offer such a service and when it is next in your area.<\/p>\n Other banks use buildings such as village halls or libraries to offer\u00a0mobile banking services.<\/p>\n Jenny Ross,\u00a0Which?\u00a0money editor, previously told The Sun that just as cash becomes an increasingly important tool for people to\u00a0keep track of their finances during the cost of living crisis, people are seeing their access to cash dwindle.<\/p>\n Some 4,685 bank branches have closed since 2015.<\/p>\n Jenny said this was\u00a0equivalent to half the UK's branch network\u00a0– with yet more set to close over the coming months.<\/p>\n "This closure of bank branches really does have an impact on everyone from smaller businesses to older or more vulnerable people," consumer expert Martyn James told The Sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/house-resting-calculator-concept-mortgage-805703327-1.jpg\")
