It’s a further blow to customers who prefer in-person banking, after the banking group announced in November that 18 sites would shut.

On its website, NatWest said banking has “changed dramatically in recent years”, citing the “increased demand” for mobile and online services.

The bank said average counter transactions reduced by 60 per cent between January 2019 and January 2023
