NatWest is closing 32 more bank branches, in addition to 49 closures last year and 7 announced earlier this week, as it shifts towards digital banking. The closures include key locations across the UK, from Manchester to London.

The closures are part of a trend of 6,609 branches closing between 2015 and 2024, with NatWest being the worst offender.
