Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and more closing 90 bank branches in WEEKS - see full list

An astonishing 90 bank branches are shutting by the end of August, leaving many Brits facing struggles to access face-to-face banking .

Cash machine network Link keeps tabs on the number of banks shutting outlets - and when.

Link data shows that 90 banks are closing branches between now and August 31 alone.

More than 300 bank branches will close this year, with high street names like Lloyds , HSBC, Barclays and NatWest all affected.

Banks say they are closing branches because a lack of footfall means it costs too much to keep many open.

They say Brits are using online banking more and physical branches less.

Some communities have been left with no bank branch at all.

Around 2,300 people on the Isle of Scilly now have to take a plane or ferry to use a bank branch as their last remaining bank shut in April.

We have the list of banks closing and the date they shut up shop for good - so check if your local is affected.

Brits can access some banking services at Post Offices due to a tie-up between banks and the mail delivery institution.

Banks pay the Post Office to do this to offset the impact of them closing branches.

What you can do at a Post Office also depends which bank you are with.

If you are a Bank of Scotland, HSBC or Lloyds customer you can use all Post Office banking services - withdrawing and depositing cash, checking your balance and depositing a cheque.

But if you bank with Nationwide, all you can do is withdraw cash and check your balance.

However, this range of services is limited compared to a proper bank branch. You cannot open a bank account at a Post Office, for example, or sort out issues with your account.
