High street banking giant Natwest has confirmed that it is closing 43 branches across the UK in a move to fully transition services online.

Speaking on the matter a Natwest spokesperson said: “As with many industries, most of our customers are shifting to mobile and online banking, because it is faster and easier for people to manage their financial lives.

“We understand and recognise that digital solutions aren’t right for everyone or every situation, and that when we close branches we have to make sure that no-one is left behind.

“We take our responsibility seriously to support the people who face challenges in moving online, so we are investing to provide them with support and alternatives that work for them.”

The closures are set to take place between January and March 2023.

NatWest have said they will be contacting all vulnerable customers who are affected by the closures.

Here is a list of all sites due for closure:

Henley-on-Thames
