HSBC has said it will shut 69 bank branches amid the shift to online banking, in a move affecting around 400 staff. In a statement, the bank confirmed the decision was taken as part of its “transformation” into how branches operate within individual communities.
West Bridgford's HSBC on Central Avenue and Ilkeston's branch on Bath Street will both close alongside 67 others in the UK. The bank has pledged to offer more varied services for its customers outside of the traditional banking model.
However, the result of this will see 69 branches close throughout the country, which many vulnerable customers may be reliant on. West Bridgford's HSBC will shut on September 15, 2022. And the Ilkeston bank branch will close on September 22, 2022, the bank confirmed.
