What to do if your branch is closing

For most of us, it probably means very little. When did you last need to use a branch? If you aren’t fussed about losing access to a branch’s facilities you don’t have to do anything. And if you only tend to need pay in or withdraw cash then you’ll be able to use a Post Office.

But for those who regularly visit a branch for more than this (or don’t have a Post Office nearby), branch closures can make a huge difference.

One solution is to open a new account with a bank that still has a local branch near you. You don’t have to switch to this new bank (which would mean the closure of your Natwest or RBS account) if you don’t want to, but doing so does have some advantages.

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. And right now you could get an enticing switching bonus.

But if you do switch you’ll lose access to benefits you get with these banks, such as if you have a rewards account or regular saver.

Unless you’re getting a decent switching bonus, I’d keep hold of the Reward account if you have it, just to keep the free cash. Instead, I’d open up a new account without switching.

And even if you aren’t bothered about your local branch closing, I’d still open another locally. I think it’s always handy to have physical access to a bank, and it’s a good idea to have more than one bank account. You never know what will happen with online and app banking, and having the option to talk to someone can make things easier.

One thought on “NatWest, RBS & Ulster branch closures for 2025

  1. As we hardly visit a local bank these days (though I still go about twice a month) hence it’s no surprise they’re closing them down in instalments. Technology has gotten itself in a haste that we need to adapt somehow.

    My concern is mainly for the elderly who still need physical bank access, and it gets them out of their homes as exercise; and all those in the countryside as well.
