Closure dates for TSB branches in Wales - with some customers facing 40 mile trip to access bank

TSB has confirmed the closure dates for three branches in Wales.

Last year the high street bank announced plans to shut more than a third of its branches - with 164 sites to shut.

There are three sites closing in Wales.

The branch on Clifton Street in Cardiff will shut on March 17 while the bank at Glynneath in West Glamorgan will close on February 11.

Prestatyn's branch will shut on March 23.

While there is an alternative TSB branch in Cardiff, customers in Prestatyn will face a 28 mile round trip to the nearest bank in Flint.

Customers in Glynneath will have to go on a 38 mile round trip to Swansea to access a TSB branch.

Around the UK, TSB will retain 290 branches.

Debbie Crosbie, chief executive of TSB, said: “Closing any of our branches is never an easy decision, but our customers are banking differently - with a marked shift to digital banking.

“We are reshaping our business to transform the customer experience and set us up for the future.

“This means having the right balance between branches on the high street and our digital platforms, enabling us to offer the very best experience for our personal and business customers across the UK.

“We remain committed to our branch network and will retain one of the largest in the UK.”
