Episode Details

Two major UK banks, Santander and NatWest, are rapidly closing dozens of branches due to the shift towards online banking. Santander is closing forty branches by May 20th, while NatWest plans to close fifteen by the end of May, fourteen more in June, and others through September and beyond. This transition, driven by the fact that 96% of transactions now occur digitally, may impact local communities, particularly older individuals and those without easy internet access. Banks promise support for the transition, but it signifies a significant change in everyday banking as digital banking becomes more prevalent.
