NATWEST Group has announced that it will close six more Royal Bank of Scotland branches across Scotland.
Closures will take place from September 8 to 17, leaving a total of 62 RBS branches overall.
The bank has pledged that it will not make any further branch closure announcements across its NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster brands until at least 2029.
On Friday, it was announced branches in Arbroath, Biggar, Castle Douglas, Giffnock, Milngavie and Motherwell are set to close.
The bank said the move marks the conclusion of its current programme of network changes as it works towards delivering a sustainable branch network.
The group will invest a further £50 million in its network over 2026/2027, focusing on modernising existing locations and improving customer experience.
It said it will also increase the number of its mobile branch stops, expanding flexible, face-to-face services in communities across the UK.
NatWest said it will also explore opportunities to open new branches where there is clear customer demand.

NatWest Group said that, while 95% of its customers now choose to bank digitally for their day-to-day banking needs, it recognises that in-person support remains an important part of how customers manage their finances.
Solange Chamberlain, chief executive, retail banking, NatWest Group said: “This is an important moment for our customers and the communities we serve.
“We are investing to offer customers a seamless mix of ways to bank with us, including over the phone, digitally, or via our free-to-use ATM network – while continuing to support those who prefer face-to-face banking in branches and community banking hubs.
“We will not announce any further branch closures until at least 2029 and are expanding more flexible and accessible ways to bank, with enhanced support to help customers act with confidence and achieve their financial goals.
“We understand the impact these changes can have for our colleagues and customers, and we will engage personally with all those affected by today’s closure announcement.”
The bank said it will also continue to support financial capability through “financial health checks,” with more than 150,000 sessions delivered so far this year, helping customers take action over their finances.
