Lloyds Banking Group has announced it will be closing 60 banking branches across the UK.
Lloyds, Bank of Scotland, and Halifax will see stores shut as they are all owned by the parent company.
The banking group says the decision was made after the number of customers using online banking reached an all-time high this year.
With 18.6 million regular online banking customers and over 15 million mobile app users, seeing an increase of 12% and 27% in the last two years.
The full list of closing branches includes 24 Lloyd Banks, 19 Bank of Scotlands, and 17 Halifax banks.
Vim Maru, group retail director, Lloyds Banking Group said: “Just like many other high street businesses, fewer customers are choosing to visit our branches.
"Our branch network is an important way for us to support our customers, but we need to adapt to the significant growth in customers choosing to do most of their everyday banking online.”
Across the UK the Lloyds Banking Group has 739 Lloyds Banks branches, 553 Halifax and 184 Bank of Scotland branches.

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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
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. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
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.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
