Lloyds Banking Group is set to close additional bank branches across the UK, with multiple outlets reporting a new round of closures in 2026. The announcements cover 79 sites in total, comprising 31 Lloyds Bank branches and 48 Halifax branches. Coverage also links the plans to earlier decisions already announced by the group, including the closure of 95 branches made earlier this year, meaning the latest round adds to that figure. Some reports also mention broader context for bank closures nationally, noting that other banks have announced additional branch closures during the same period. Several outlets publish lists naming affected locations, including reporting of closures that will take place in specific regions such as North Yorkshire and Greater Manchester, and individual towns cited in local coverage. The reports draw on figures previously reported by consumer and industry sources about how many branches have already been shut in recent years. Overall, the articles present the closures as part of the banking group’s ongoing branch network reductions, with lists provided to identify which customer locations will be affected and when closures are scheduled.
