Full list of 55 more Natwest closures for 2025 in major blow to high streets

The trend of major banks reducing their physical presence is attributed to a shift towards online banking services

NatWest has revealed plans to shut down an additional 55 locations, including 52 bank branches and three mobile vans. The announcement follows the previously confirmed closure of 54 NatWest branches earlier this year.

The trend of major banks reducing their physical presence is attributed to a shift towards online banking services. Which? has released figures indicating that since 2015, the NatWest Group – encompassing Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank – has closed a total of 1,455 branches.

This encompasses the closure of 48 branches in 2024 and nearly 20 that permanently ceased operations in 2023, according to the Mirror. In the midst of these closures, customers requiring in-person assistance can instead access everyday services at any branch within the NatWest group.

For instance, NatWest customers are welcome to use RBS branches and vice versa. Additionally, there’s the option to utilise a ‘mobile branch’ service, where staff provide banking facilities in community locations on specific days.

Services available through mobile branches include depositing funds, cash withdrawals, and bill payments. The Post Office also offers banking services for NatWest customers, such as cash deposits and withdrawals, balance enquiries, and cheque deposits.

A spokesperson from the bank said: “Over 80% of our active current account holders now use our digital services and over 97% of retail accounts with us are now opened online.

“Our customers appreciate the speed and convenience of digital banking for everyday transactions, and often, when it comes to making bigger, more complex decisions they value speaking to our skilled and experienced colleagues.

“Like any business, we strive to meet our customers’ changing needs and expectations and we’ve been responding to the industry wide shift towards digital services by investing to broaden what customers can do themselves and to offer them greater personalisation.

“While we are increasingly engaging our customers digitally, our branch network remains important to us. We are also significantly investing in refreshing our network.

“We expect to invest over £20m in our network across the UK in 2025 to improve customer service, enhance the look and feel of our branches, and reduce the environmental impact of our buildings, as well as continuing to invest in shared solutions like the Post Office and Banking Hubs.

“We will also provide temporary support for transitions to our new network in selected locations through our 12-week Community Pop-Ups.”
