Ayrshire Bank of Scotland branch to be axed as part of closure plans

An Ayrshire Bank of Scotland branch is to be axed.

Lloyds Banking Group revealed that the Galston branch will close as part of a raft of changes that will see 56 banks axed.

The banking giant has confirmed plans to shut 31 Lloyds, 10 Halifax and 15 Bank of Scotland branches between April and October 2020.

The company said the closures are part of a store reduction programme in response to changing customer behaviour and the move towards online banking.

A Lloyds Banking Group spokeswoman said: "We are committed to having the largest branch network in the UK and, in addition to our branches, all our customers can also use the Post Office to access their banking locally, alongside our mobile branches which visit many rural communities.

"We have confirmed that a number of branches will close between April and October this year.

"This is in response to changing customer behaviours and the reduced number of transactions being made in branches."
