Another step has been taken in the closure of a city centre bank branch. The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) branch on South Parade, Nottingham city centre, will soon close, with a planning application recently approved to allow the removal of the ATM and furniture from the building.
The closure is part of a larger move, with it being announced on February 14 that 32 branches of NatWest and the Royal Bank of Scotland would close, including branches in Nottingham city centre, Bulwell and Hucknall. The planning application shows the branch's external ATM will be removed after the branch is shut.
All external and internal marketing decoration will now be taken out, with furniture also being removed from the bank. The NatWest Group, which runs both Natwest and RBS, said the move was a result in a drop in the use of branches since the Covid pandemic began.
