TSB plans to shut Leeds branch as staff are left to face redundancy

TSB has announced plans to close 82 branches across the country, including one in Leeds.

The commercial bank says it will shut the branch in 2020 and 370 members of staff are now at risk of redundancy.

TSB Bank in Otley Road, Headingley, has been included on the list, as it will close in February.

The bank says many branches have low customer numbers and transactions are decreasing year on year, as many opt to bank online or over the phone.

Robin Bulloch, customer banking director at TSB, said: “We have made the difficult decision to close 82 branches, today announcing the locations.

"We will fully support customers through this transition.

“We realise this is difficult news for our branch partners and will do everything to support those affected to offer voluntary redundancies and redeploy as many people as we can to other roles.”

When those 82 branches close, TSB will still have a network of 454 branches nationwide.
