Barclays to close 14 more branches – find out which ones

There are now 69 slated to go in 2023. Should you move bank?

In 2023, a total of 69 branches of Barclays will close their doors – so far at least as more could well be announced.

Here’s what you need to know.

When are the banks closing?

The latest list of 14 locations follows the 14 revealed a fews ago, on top of 29 announced in January and news last December of another 11 that will shut. And that’s in addition to the 184 that disappeared last year.

All 69 branches are to close by late June this year. Some have already gone. The list further down the article tells you which branches are going and when.

You can find reasons for each closure on the Barclays website.

What to do if your branch is closing

If you use your branch

If you do regularly visit a branch it’s going to be bad news. You can pay in and withdraw money from your local Post Office, which might be enough, though there may be limitations on how amounts per day.

Alternatively, you can open up another account at a bank which does have a local branch near you (though that’s not always easy at the rate they are going at all the banks).

Depending on the new bank you choose, if you also switch (which will close your existing Barclays account), you might be able to nab a switching bonus of up to £200 from the other bank.

Plus all your Direct Debits, standing orders and payments into your account will be moved over for you, so you won’t need to change anything manually.

If you don’t use your branch

The reason the branches are closing is that very few Barclays transactions are done in person. So if you do everything online, you’re probably not going to worry about losing access to a branch’s facilities.

In that case you don’t have to do anything, and can keep your Barclays account. If you do, make sure you’ve joined the Barclays Blue Rewards scheme to access the 5.12% paying Rainy Day saver account – it’s one of the highest paying savings accounts out there right now.
