shut the doors of 56 locations across 2025. It comes as fewer people have been going into its brick-and-mortar locations for in-person visits, which is not an isolated issue for NatWest. In
recent years, thousands of branches have already closed, with 6,300 bank and building society branches closing since January 2015, equating to 53 closures on average every month, according
