NatWest has announced that it will close 43 bank branches across the country as it continues to move towards an online-orientated service.
The UK's second-biggest lender said the vast majority of its retail banking services can be done online, while also being much quicker and easier than heading to a physical branch. Despite that large portion of locations closing, only six jobs are believed to be put at risk.
Most branch staff will likely be offered the opportunity to take up a role in a different branch or another part of the business. The bank also said it will contact its vulnerable customer to provide support following the announcement.
