Bank of Scotland bosses have confirmed more than 20 branches will be closed within the next year.
The banking chain has already seen closures in the past year and now customers should expect more to follow in 2025 and 2026.
It comes as the banking chain continues to shift its attention to online and digital platforms.
Lloyds Banking Group, which owns Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, has confirmed that more hubs will be scrapped in the coming months.
The new closures, alongside the string of closures that have occured, means customers will see nearly 200 high street branches axed.
It follows research from consumer champion Which? revealed that a total of 6,161 banks and building societies branches across the UK have closed their doors since January 2015, averaging around 53 closures per month.

Over the course of this year, a total of 22 Bank of Scotland branches will close their door for good and a further three are set to close in 2026.
The company previously revealed that mobile banking has now become “customers’ most popular choice when it comes to day-to-day banking“.
This is due to its accessibility providing “24/7/365 access and the power to view, understand and manage their money in one simple place”.
Lloyds has confirmed that over 20million customers are now signed up to use the group’s online services.
And as a result, Bank of Scotland chiefs have invester a whopping £4billion to improve tech across the banks.
The change is increasingly concerning for older generations who may not be banking online.
It said that all workers at the affected branches will be offered jobs elsewhere in the company.

“Customers can also do their everyday banking at over 11,000 branches of the Post Office or in a Banking Hub.”
