HIGH streets are set to lose another 18 bank branches next month as Lloyds Banking Group is making a series of closures.
The group, which owns Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, is closing a total of 254 branches for good this year.
Eleven branches have already shut this month, with another 17 to close in May.
June will see a further 18 closures, and there will be even more throughout the year.
Lloyds has been slashing the number of its high street branches over the last few years as it says customers have moved more online.
The banking giant has 27million customers across its Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland subsidiaries.
Other banks have also decided to close branches this year, including Santander, NatWest, Barclays and TSB.
However Lloyds Banking Group has by far the most closures pencilled in.
Nationwide has the most branches remaining open across the country with 606 outlets still operating.
The building society has also said it will not leave any town or city that it's currently based in until at least 2028.

Since June 2022, Lloyds Banking Group has shut 537 bank branches across its three brands.
It has previously said all workers at the affected branches will be offered jobs elsewhere in the company.
UK banks and building societies have closed about 6,293 branches since January 2015, according to research by Which?.
This works out as almost two branches shutting every day for the past decade.
Barclays is the individual bank that has reduced its network the most, with 1,227 branch closures.
What to do if your local bank is set to close
If your nearest branch is closing, you should still be able to access banking services without going to another town.
For example you could check if there is a Post Office near you.
Here you'll be able to do basic banking tasks, although you won't be able to open a new bank account or take out personal loans or mortgages.
You can find your nearest Post Office branch by visiting postoffice.co.uk/branch-finder.
Many banks also offer a mobile banking service where they bring a bus to your area that offers services you can usually get at a physical branch.
Other banks use buildings such as village halls or libraries to offer mobile banking services.
You may want to contact your bank to see what mobile services they have available.
Another option is to check if there's a super ATM near you.
These have been rolled out across the UK where branch closures have left residents unable to access essential banking services.
These ATMs will allow customers to withdraw funds, access their balance, change PIN numbers and deposit cash.
Banking hubs are also being opened across the country with 250 set to be available by the end of 2025.
What services do banking hubs offer?
BANKING hubs offer a range of services to bridge the gap left by the closure of local branches.
Operated by the Post Office, these hubs allow customers to perform routine transactions such as deposits, withdrawals, and balance enquiries.
Each hub features private booths where customers can discuss more complex banking matters with staff from their respective banks.
Staff from different banks are available on a rotational basis, ensuring that customers have access to a wide range of banking services throughout the week.
Additionally, customers can receive advice and support on various financial products and services, including loans, mortgages, and savings accounts.
