NatWest Announces Branch Closures

NatWest Group has announced nine new branch closures, with a commitment not to close any more branches until at least 2029.

This comes after over a thousand closures in the past decade.

The closures are part of a broader trend in the banking sector, as digital banking gains prominence and physical branches become less utilized.

This move aims to streamline operations and adapt to changing customer behaviors, while also sparking concerns about access to banking services in affected communities.
