NatWest to shut 23 more bank branches this year - see full list of closures
NatWest is to shut 23 more bank branches this year in another blow for the high street.
The closures, which are scheduled to take place from April to June, are down to more people banking online.
It comes on top of the 43 banks NatWest already had scheduled to shut this year, including 13 that have already closed this month.
If your local bank is shutting and you need face-to-face support, NatWest runs mobile branches at various locations throughout the year.
These can be used for basic services, like making deposits, paying bills and withdrawing cash.

You can find your nearest mobile branch or banking hub on the NatWest website.
You can also access certain facilities at Post Office branches including cash and cheque deposits, checking your balance and withdrawing cash.
A NatWest spokesperson said: “As with many industries, most of our customers are shifting to mobile and online banking, because it’s faster and easier for people to manage their financial lives.
“We understand and recognise that digital solutions aren’t right for everyone or every situation, and that when we close branches we have to make sure that no one is left behind.
“We take our responsibility seriously to support the people who face challenges in moving online, so we are investing to provide them with support and alternatives that work for them.”
The update from NatWest comes just days after Lloyds and Halifax announced they will shut another 40 banks this year.
This is on top of the 14 that had already been earmarked for closure.
TSB is shutting nine bank branches and HSBC has said it will shutter 114 banks - around a quarter of its total sites - in 2023.
