Ulster Bank has confirmed it will close a further nine branches across Northern Ireland from later this year.
The branches in Holywood, Warrenpoint, Dunmurry, Antrim, Ballymoney, Larne, Comber, Maghera, and Clogher will start to close in September through to mid-October.
A spokesperson for Ulster Bank said it's due to more customers moving to online and mobile banking.

They also said all the branch closures are within one mile of a free to use ATM and said customers can still use the services offered by the Post Office to withdraw and deposit cash at any of their branches.
An Ulster Bank spokesperson said: "As with many industries, most of our customers are shifting to mobile and online banking, because it's faster and easier for people to manage their financial lives.
"We understand and recognise that digital solutions aren't right for everyone or every situation, and that when we close branches we have to make sure that no one is left behind.
"We take our responsibility seriously to support the people who face challenges in moving online, so we are investing to provide them with support and alternatives that work for them."
It comes after an announcement from Danske Bank last week that its branches in Lurgan, Cookstown, Kilkeel and Fivemiletown will also close in September.
That will reduce the number of Danske Bank branches in Northern Ireland to 28 after it previously closed four branches last October.
The bank claimed the closures come amid changing customer patterns in the use of bank branches and said they “do not make these decisions lightly”.
The closures of the branches will also see the removal of several ATM devices.
The ATMs at Cookstown, Kilkeel and Lurgan will be removed on September 16, with the cash machine at Fivemiletown will be removed on January 31, 2023.
