First Halifax, now TSB? Why are banks disappearing?

The sheer scale of bank branch closures has caused concern inside government. And with one - maybe two - high street brands set to disappear from the high street, is the situation going to get even worse?

In this episode, Which? senior data journalist Josh Wilson crunches the numbers to reveal the stark reality of high street banking in 2026: 69% of the nation’s physical banking network has been lost since January 2015.

Josh explains why banks keep closing branches, and what an official government review into accessing face-to-face banking services could reveal.

Plus, Which? senior researcher Faye Lipson details what Halifax customers need to know as the brand is set to disappear from the UK, and why TSB customers should be aware that the pioneering brand could vanish too.
