Whitley Bay faces its third bank closure in only four months.
NatWest, on 18 Park View will close its doors for the last time on July 20, 2023, citing a 53% decrease in in-person transactions as one major reason for shutting up shop. This comes only months after HSBC and Halifax also announced their decisions to close their branches in the town.
HSBC is scheduled to close on May 2 and Halifax following suit on June 21.
