HSBC has announced plans to close a further 69 branches in a bid to move more people to online and mobile banking. 

The closing will affect nearly 400 staff across the UK with eight branches in London also named to be shutting their doors. 

The move comes as Jackie Uhi, head of HSBC UK’s branch network, said: “The way people bank is changing – something the pandemic has accelerated.

“Our branches continue to support people with their more complex banking needs, but the way we can do this has also evolved, with the addition of banking hubs, community pop ups and continued use of the Post Office network.

“Rather than a one-size-fits-all branch approach, it’s an approach built around the way different customers are choosing to bank in different areas.”
