Lloyds Banking Group: Which Yorkshire branches are closing and when?
Lloyds Banking Group is to shut another 95 bank branches in the next round of closures announced by the high street bank.
The closures will affect branches across its Lloyds Bank, Halifax and Bank of Scotland brands between May 2026 and March 2027.
Under the plans, 53 Lloyds, 31 Halifax and 11 Bank of Scotland sites will shut. Cash access network Link said 14 new locations will receive a banking hub in order to protect access to cash across the country. Banking hubs are shared spaces operated by staff at different banks on different days, offering services including withdrawing and depositing cash and paying bills.
Lloyds did not specify how many members of staff will be impacted by the closures, but all those who work at the branches will be offered a role at another branch or in another part of the business.
It is the latest swathe of branches to be axed, with Lloyds in the middle of its latest round of closures which will see 49 sites shut down by October.
That followed 136 closures announced around a year ago. Lloyds will have 610 branches remaining once all the previously-announced closures are complete.
A spokeswoman for Lloyds said: “Customers want the freedom to bank in the way that works for them and we offer more choice and ways to manage money than ever before.
“From our leading apps and 24/7 messaging service to local banking options like our community bankers, PayPoint and access to all of our Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland branches, we’re giving our customers the flexibility to bank wherever and whenever they need us.”
The Lloyds Bank branches closing include Horncastle in Lincolnshire on August 10 and Hull, Ings Road in East Yorkshire on June 15. The Halifax branches closing include Armthorpe, in South Yorkshire on March 17, Goole, in East Yorkshire on June 17, Mexborough, South Yorkshire on March 15 and Shipley, West Yorkshire on June 9. The closure dates at Armthorpe and Mexborough are subject to change because banking hubs have been recommended there.
Last month, Lloyds Banking Group revealed it had notched up a higher-than-expected annual profit haul despite significant provisions for motor finance compensation.
The high street lending giant reported a 12 per cent jump in pre-tax profits to £6.66 billion for 2025, up from £5.97 billion in 2024 – and upped its outlook for key performance measures in 2026.
