Santander has announced a major restructuring of its UK branch network, confirming plans to close 95 locations. This widespread shake-up will affect communities across the country, raising concerns about the future of local banking services.
As part of the changes, the bank will close these branches over the summer, reduce opening hours at 36 locations, and remove counters from 18 sites. Following the restructure, Santander will have 349 branches remaining, including 290 full-service locations and five 'work cafés'—shared office spaces with banking facilities.
