Two Barclays branches in Hampshire have been confirmed to be among the latest round of UK closures. As reported by the Mirror, 11 will shut in England, two in Wales, and one in Scotland before the end of 2023.
Barclays had previously announced 41 bank branch closures already this year, including five that have already shut. The latest round of closures means 55 Barclays sites will close their doors for good this year.
Barclays customers who are worried about bank closures can access services elsewhere if they need face-to-face support. Customers can access certain facilities at Post Office branches including cash and cheque deposits, checking your balance and withdrawing cash.

Barclays also runs pop-up banking sites – it currently has 200 of these and has announced plans to increase this number by another 70. In addition to this, the lender is opening new ” banking pods” which are semi-permanent sites which can be moved to different towns and locations based on demand.
Finally, the bank also runs an educational and support van service for people who need financial advice on topics such as saving for a home or setting up a business. A Barclays spokesperson said: “As visits to branches continue to fall, we need to adapt to provide the best service for all our customers.
“Where there is no longer enough demand to support a branch, we maintain an in-person presence through our Barclays Local network, live in over 200 locations, based in libraries, town halls, mobile vans and our new banking pods. We also support access to cash with our cashback without purchase service, 24-hour deposit-taking ATMs and by working alongside the Post Office and Cash Access UK.”
