Lloyds Banking Group is to close 28 more branches this year. That includes 20 Lloyds branches and eight branches of Halifax.
A union has attacked news of more closures as “inexcusable".
Unite said the decision by Lloyds Banking Group to close more branches threatened scores of job losses.
The decision means this year alone 309 bank branches will have closed their doors.
Falling customer footfall was the reason the banking group gave for the shutting down of the 28 branches.
National officer Caren Evans said: “The branch closure announcement today that another profit making financial institution is failing to consider the needs of consumers and staff beggars’ belief.

“This news is another example of a bank choosing to walk away from the communities who need access to banking.
“The actions of Lloyds Banking Group over the last few months are completely inexcusable.
“The management is letting down customers and their dedicated workforce.
“These closures will leave some customers more than 10 miles from their nearest bank branch.
“This is a betrayal of some of the most vulnerable, elderly and socially excluded in our communities who need local access to community banking.”
Unite said over 5,000 bank and building society branches have closed since 2015.
