Since 2015, 5,579 high street banks have been shut down or have issued closures for the future due to the rise in digital banking.

According to the data from Which? this works out as approximately 54 branch closures a month – and that's before factoring in closures to come in the future.

In the coming year, the following banks are expected to make closures: HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Barclays, Halifax, Santander, Nationwide, TSB, Virgin Money, RBS and the Bank of Scotland.
