These will offer banking services, including deposits, free cash withdrawals and balance checks, as well as face-to-face access to government services, bill payment, foreign currency and travel insurance.
In a leaflet on the Santander website Adam Bishop, head of branch interactions, said more of Santander’s customers do their day-to-day banking using online, mobile or telephone banking.
“As a result, customers are visiting our branches much less,” he said, adding that this change has been happening for years and has accelerated recently.

He added that the difficult decision to close some branches was made only where there are other facilities nearby and where there is another Santander branch within a few miles.
