The bank currently has 614 branches across the UK, but more closures are imminent.
Halifax, which is part of Lloyds Banking Group, will close nine bank branches between June 2 and June 5.
This marks the latest phase in the bank's ongoing review of its branch network.
It is scheduled to close a total of 61 branches by March 2026.
The first three branches in the current round of closures will close on Monday, June 2.
The first affected locations are Felixstowe, Gainsborough, and Kingsbury.
A further five closures are expected later this month, with additional branches across the country set to shut their doors in the coming weeks.
The decision comes after an increased numbe of customers opt for online and mobile banking services.
Halifax explained that the affected branches have experienced a steady decline in footfall in recent years.
The banking sector has responded to changing customer behaviour, as more people choose digital banking options over traditional branch visits.
Fresh wave of bank branches set to close for good in June
"Over 20 million customers are using our apps for on-demand access to their money, and customers have more choice and flexibility than ever for their day-to-day banking," a Halifax spokesman said.
The bank added that customers retain access to multiple banking channels beyond the closing branches.
"Alongside our apps, customers can also use telephone banking, visit a community banker or use any Halifax, Lloyds or Bank of Scotland branch, giving access to many more branches," the rep said.
Halifax customers can also conduct everyday banking at over 11,000 Post Office branches and have the option to visit a Banking Hub for their banking needs.
The nine Halifax branches closing in the coming days are spread across England and Wales.

Plans for tram-train link to connect 'forgotten' Bolton, says mayor
Greater Manchester's mayor has said towns left out of a new transport funding boost have not been "forgotten", as he revealed plans for a new tram-train service. Andy Burnham said full details of a proposed new transport link that would connect Bolton and Leigh to the Metrolink system via Atherton would be published next comes after the government announced £2.5bn in extra transport funding for the tram network to extend to Stockport and see added stops in Bury, Manchester and told BBC Radio Manchester he wanted "all our boroughs to be connected by a Metrolink style service". The mayor was challenged by listener Alison while on BBC Radio Manchester's phone-in, who asked why the £2.5bn cash injection made no mention of Bolton. She said: "Has Bolton been forgotten yet again? When, when, when will Bolton be linked to the Metrolink?"Burnham said the town had not been "cut out of the picture or forgotten", and a plan to connect Bolton and Leigh to the Metrolink service via Atherton would be published next month. This would see the use of tram-trains, able to operate both on tram tracks and existing rail lines, he said. 'Attractive place' The mayor said the reason Bolton had not been included in the chancellor's announcement was that transport schemes elsewhere in the region were "more viable at this moment in time. "He also said that rail passengers would see other, non-infrastructure changes in Bolton said: "Two rail lines which connect via Bolton are coming into the Bee Network by 2028."That means Bolton will all of a sudden be a very attractive place from a travel point of view."Passengers will be able to tap in at Bolton station and they'll be in the Bee Network cap. That's going to be a change that comes quicker than any new infrastructure."In effect, those services will be like Metrolink, they'll be quicker and passengers will be in the same system."

Major supermarket is selling HUGE 4.5kg Toblerone bar for Father's Day – and it's the cheapest around
MORRISONS have just launched a GIGANTIC Toblerone bar just in time for Father's Day - for the cheapest price around. The bar weighs 4.5kg which is over 12 times bigger than the traditional size bar and heavier than the average new born baby. 3 The limited-edition bar is in stores now and will be until Sunday June 15, 2025 making it the perfect present for Father's day. While the bar weighs in at a hefty weight, so does the price, with the bar on offer at £60 for customers with a More Card. However, those without a More Card will have to pay the full price of £80. The chocolate bar is only available in store at Morrisons but is also currently sold on Amazon for £69.99. This is not the first time that the giant chocolate bar has been released to the public as it was previously stocked in 2017. as they released supersized items for the period. The supermarket is replicating the same trick this year for Father's Day as they sell more big items alongside the Toblerone. A limited edition footlong sausage roll, baked fresh in store everyday, will also be available for just £2 until June 15. Alongside the supersized Toblerone and sausage roll Morrisons have a Father's Day range of indulgent bakery sweet treats, corking deals on beer and ale, and further gifts and cards. 3 3 This announcement follows public outrage at the supermarket after they encouraged customers to spend more but then ran out of promised rewards. The retail giant introduced a special offer in February offering free or discounted luxury kitchen essentials in exchange for spending certain amounts. Customers earn one More Card stamp for each £10 spent in-store. Supermarket loyalty schemes - which has one? MOST UK supermarkets have loyalty schemes so customers can build up points and save money while they shop. Here we round up what saving programmes you'll find at the big brands. Iceland: Unlike other stores, you don't collect points with the Iceland Bonus Card. Instead, you load it up with money and Iceland will give you £1 for every £20 you save. Lidl Plus: Lidl customers don't collect points when they shop, and are instead rewarded with personalised vouchers that gives them money off at the till. Morrisons: The My Morrisons: Make Good Things Happen replaces the More Card and rewards customers with personalised money off vouchers via the app. Sainsbury's: While Sainsbury's doesn't have a personal scheme, it does own the Nectar card which can also be used in Argos, eBay and other shops. You need 200 Nectar points to save up £1 to spend on your card. You need to spend at least £1 to get one Nectar point. Tesco: Tesco Clubcard has over 17million members in the UK alone. You use it each time you shop and build up points that can be turned into vouchers - 150 points gets you a £1.50 voucher. Here you need to spend £1 in Tesco to get one point. Waitrose: myWaitrose also doesn't allow you to collect points but instead you'll get access to free hot drinks, and discounts off certain brands in store. Once shoppers have earned 15 - the equivalent of spending £150 - they can unlock discounts on an array of top quality Pyrex kitchen containers. Or, once reaching 30 stamps or above, the items become free depending on the value of the Pyrex product. One disgruntled customer said: 'How frustrating after saving for dishes in your offer (Pyrex vacuum dishes) to be told that the store doesn't have any…. 'Bad planning on your part and annoying for loyal customers who are supporting you.' In Morrisons Eccles store in Salford, Manchester, a woman was recorded hurling items at the self checkout before throwing another customer to the floor. The police were called to the scene and eventually arrested one woman at the scene on suspicion of assault and assaulting a police officer on June 3, 2025. A Morrisons spokesperson declined to comment on the matter.
