Lloyds, Halifax and the Bank of Scotland have announced plans to shut down dozens more high street branches across the country in another blow to customers.
It comes after it was announced in January that 189 branches from several other banks, including NatWest, Barclays and Halifax, would be closing later this year.
Banks and building societies have started to disappear from high streets in a bid to cut costs as more people move to online banking.
Lloyds has now confirmed it will close an additional 21 branches, Halifax will shut 22, and Bank of Scotland will be closing 10.
It will affect sites across England, Wales and Scotland.
Lloyds Bank will shut another 21 branches.

Lloyds and Bank of Scotland customers that are concerned about accessing face-to-face services as more high street banks close can access “mobile branches” in some areas.
However, this service will only be available until May 2024 and does not offer cash or counter services. They are typically set up on specific dates and times every month.
Some other banks offer mobile banking services by bringing a bus to local areas and offer the usual services that would be available at a physical branch.
Basic banking services will still be available for customers affected at their nearest Post Office.
