According to Lloyds Banking Group, more than 21 million of its customers now prefer managing their money through the financial institution's website or personal app.

A spokesperson for Lloyds Banking Group commented: "We're providing more choice than ever before, bringing together the best in digital convenience with our people."

Last year, a survey from credit information firm CRIF found that 27 per cent of senior banking professionals in the UK believe the reduction in bank branches is not a major challenge for their company.

However, the same polling found that six in ten British consumers consider the recent wave of bank branch closures to have been a barrier in accessing crucial financial support.

Sara Costantini, the regional director for the UK and Ireland at CRIF said: "Financial services have changed rapidly over the last decade, as people continue to embrace digital banking and manage multiple aspects of their finances online.

"The knock-on impact of this has been the reduction in physical, in-person banking services. While many working in the sector don’t see this as a major challenge to their business, bank branch reductions are continuing to fuel concerns over the quality of customer services and what further closures may mean for the future.

"The findings highlight the difficult tightrope that banks now need to walk, balancing the need to ensure their digital services remain cutting edge and up to scratch, which has become a competitive area for so many, without losing the personal touch that more traditional services offer."
