Lloyds Banking Group announces closure of Merseyside branches - including Lloyds and Halifax banks

Lloyds Banking Group said it would close 61 Lloyds branches, 61 Halifax locations and 14 Bank of Scotland sites between May 2025 and March 2026. The news comes after Natwest announced plans to shut 53 more of its UK branches and Lloyds Banking Group revealed it would be shutting its Liverpool Speke office.

Lloyds said its bank closures will not lead job losses, noting that all affected staff members will be offered a role at another branch or part of its business.

The banking group attributed the closures to customers shifting away from banking in person to using mobile and online services, noting that transactions across the affected branches fell by an average of 48% over the past five years.

Liverpool will see its Breck Road Lloyds branch close on May 4, 2026, while Halifax will close its Wallasey site on September 4, 2025, and its Southport branch on October 7, 2025.
