Lloyds and Halifax will close another 40 branches this year as more banks disappear from the high street.
Lloyds Banking Group, which owns both banks, will shut 22 Lloyds branches and 18 Halifax sites.
It comes on top of the 14 Lloyds banks and five Halifax branches that had already been earmarked for closure this year.
The latest closures will happen between April and June this year.
Lloyds Banking Group said the closures are due to more customers using online banking.

A spokesperson said customer visits have dropped by around 60% on average at the affected bank branches.

If you need to speak to someone face-to-face, Lloyds runs a fortnightly mobile bank service - you can find out which dates these run on the Lloyds websites.
Halifax customers can check if a "community banker" is visiting your area on the Halifax website.
You can also access certain facilities at Post Office branches including cash and cheque deposits, checking your balance and withdrawing cash.
A spokesperson from Lloyds Banking Group said: “Branches play an important part in our strategy but we need to have them in the right places, where they are well-used.
“We’ll continue to invest in branches that are being used regularly, alongside our online, mobile app and telephone services.”
