TSB has confirmed it is to close more than a dozen branches in Scotland next year following a "review" of its UK operation.
The Spanish-owned bank said it had taken the "difficult decision" to close 17 branches in response to proximity to alternative branches and the accessibility of alternative services such as free-to-use ATMs and the Post Office.

The bank previously announced that 82 branches across the UK would close as part of a plan to make £100m of cost cuts by 2022.
It is not known how many jobs in Scotland were at risk as a result of the closures.
TSB, however, reassured customers that they would still have a strong Scottish presence, with 134 TSB branches north of the border.

TSB customer banking director Robin Bulloch said: "We have made the difficult decision to close some of our quieter branches and 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 redeploy as many people as we can to other roles and keep compulsory redundancies to a minimum."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
