Milton Keynes banks unaffected by further branch closures

    Banks in Milton Keynes are to remain unaffected but commuters may notice a struggle with several of the London banks set to close.

    Lloyds Banking Group has announced that between October and January, 48 Lloyds Bank branches and 18 Halifax branches will be closing. It comes just two months after the banking giants announced that 28 branches would be shutting between August and November.

    Despite Milton Keynes branches being unaffected by this round of closures, the city has seen a few over the past month.

    In June, it was announced that Barclays on Queensway is to close following 'reduction in counter transactions', following that, news came that Santander was reducing its opening hours in Midsummer Place.

    The closures come as banks continue to see a growth in customers using online banking.

    Russell Galley, director of consumer relationships at Lloyds Banking Group said: "Our customers have more choice than ever in how they bank with us.

    "As our customers do more online, visits to some branches have fallen by as much as 85% over the last five years.

    "Alongside our digital, online and telephone services, we'll continue to invest in our branches, but they need to be in the right places, where they're well-used."

    The bank says there will be no compulsory or voluntary redundancies and staff will be able to move to other branches or another part of the business.
