High street bank Barclays has announced it will be shutting a further 15 stores in 2023, taking its total number of closures for the year to 110.

According to consumer group Which?, as it stands by the end of 2023, Barclays will have closed 1,070 bank branches since 2015.

Last year, Barclays closed 184 branches – the second highest of all the major banks, behind only Lloyds Banking Group (which includes Bank of Scotland, Halifax and Lloyds Bank) which shut 186 sites. 

Barclays said the decision to close more stores was due to a significant change in customer behaviour, with more people choosing to bank online. 

A bank spokesperson said Barclays would continue to review its physical sites.

A Barclays spokesperson said: "As visits to branches continue to fall, we need to adapt to provide the best service for all our customers. 

"Where there is no longer enough demand to support a branch, we maintain an in-person presence though our Barclays Local network, live in over 200 locations, based in libraries, town halls, mobile vans and our new banking pods. 

"We also support access to cash with our cashback without purchase service, 24-hour deposit-taking ATMs and by working alongside the Post Office and Cash Access UK."
