# 55 NatWest and Santander Branches Set to Close by May 28 – Complete List of Dates
Santander and NatWest are set to shut down 55 of their branches by May 28, with closures starting as early as Tuesday. These changes reflect the evolving demands of banking services, as customers increasingly turn to mobile and online banking options.
The closures will impact a number of locations across the UK. Santander has stated that the shift towards digital banking has led to a significant decline in foot traffic within physical branches, prompting the necessary closures. "Banking has changed dramatically in recent years. There's more demand for mobile and online services, allowing you to benefit from a faster and easier way to bank," the bank noted.
Customers will receive detailed information concerning the closures and options for transitioning to alternative banking methods. "We understand the closure of your local branch will bring some changes, and we want to make sure you are fully informed and supported every step of the way," the bank added.
The closures will inevitably affect many communities, with residents facing challenges in accessing banking services locally. The complete list of affected branches will be available on each bank's website.
