Barclays has announced plans to shut 15 more bank branches this year.
It comes on top of 11 sites already earmarked for closure in 2023 - taking the total number of Barclays banks closing their doors for good to 26.
Barclays will shut the newly listed 15 bank branches in April 2023. You can see a full list of affected sites below.
If you're a Barclays customer and you're worried about your local bank shutting, you do have options if you need in-person support.
Barclays runs a support van and pop-up banks where you can get help and advice on certain days each month.

A Barclays spokesperson said: “Our customers’ behaviour has changed significantly in recent years, with the majority choosing online banking. As we adapt, we are closing less well used branches whilst investing in brilliant customer service and digital technology.
“We are maintaining our community presence with alternative options for customers who still require in-person support. This includes our network of Barclays Local sites in libraries and community centres, bank pods and mobile vans, our cashback without purchase service, Shared Banking Hubs and everyday banking at the Post Office.”
Banks up and down the country have been shutting their doors due to more customers shopping online - and Barclays isn't alone in closing branches.
HSBC has said it will shutter 114 banks - around a quarter of its total sites - in 2023.
Lloyds is closing a further 14 banks next year, while NatWest currently has 43 scheduled to shut forever.
Santander and Halifax will shutter five each and Nationwide will close one.
This means, in total, 208 banks are scheduled so far to shut in 2023.
