TSB is closing nine more bank branches in May this year as more customers switch to online banking.

It comes after the banking giant closed 70 sites in 2022.

TSB currently has 220 branches in the UK - after these latest closures, that number will fall to 211.

If you're worried about your local bank shutting, you do have options if you need in-person support.

TSB runs pop-up banks and hubs where you can get help and advice on certain days each month.

Some of the services available include help with managing your payments, including direct debits, reporting lost and stolen cards and help if you've suffered a bereavement.

You can find when a pop-up TSB bank is open near you on the TSB website.

TSB customers can also use Post Office branches for things like cashing cheques and making deposits, checking your balance and withdrawing cash.

A TSB Spokesperson said: “The decision to close a branch is never taken lightly, but our customers are banking differently – with more using digital banking.

“We remain committed to a national branch network and have invested £30million upgrading it over the last two years.

“Through video, telephone, digital, branch and other face-to-face services TSB customers now have more ways to bank with us than ever before.”

TSB isn't the only bank to announce closures this year.

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.
