Lloyds Bank closures start this month as 17 UK branches set to shut in January 2026

NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 05:38 ET Lloyds Bank will close 17 branches across Britain in January, according to closure notices posted on the lender’s branch locator website. The first closures are scheduled for Jan. 8, including the bank’s branch in Gillingham, Dorset. The timetable matters now because it lands at the start of the year, when households and small businesses often still depend on counter services for cash deposits, withdrawals and in-person support. In many towns, losing a local branch means longer travel for basic banking, particularly for older customers and people who do not bank online. The branch

Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY) Share Price on 24 December 2025: Latest News, 2026 Forecasts, Dividend Outlook and Key Risks
