Halifax to close 15 bank branches in 10 weeks - full list

Halifax will close 15 branches across the UK in the next 10 weeks, with the vast majority of Halifax branches either rebranding to Lloyds or closing. Customers affected by any branch changes will be contacted directly by Halifax.

The Civil Service Pensioners' Alliance said the closures are "creating real barriers to everyday financial independence" for thousands of pensioners, noting that many still rely on face-to-face banking.

Campaigners warn over branch access

Several other UK banks are also undertaking a wave of closures, with NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander and Lloyds having all closed branches across the UK. Barclays has announced plans to open more.

Halifax, one of Britain's best-known banking brands, was founded in West Yorkshire in 1853. Halifax announced weeks ago that it was phasing out the brand after 173 years; Lloyds Banking Group has owned Halifax since 2009 and confirmed the move.

Halifax brand changes to Lloyds

Jas Singh, Lloyds Banking Group's chief executive of consumer relationships, said at the time: "As Halifax changes to Lloyds, our Halifax customers will keep everything they know and love today - the same fantastic app design, the same friendly faces in our branches - even the same sort code and account number."

Halifax had closed 25 branches throughout June. It said in response to closures: "Branch decisions are based on a range of factors, including how customers are choosing to bank and the availability of nearby services.
