HSBC has revealed plans to shut 69 bank branches in a move that could affect around 400 staff.

The bank said its new branch approach includes a "broader range of local support" and includes community pop-ups, new integrated self-service machines, "colleague-assisted digital support for customers", as well as continued use of the Post Office network.

It added that it will allow HSBC º£½ÇÊÓÆµ to continue to invest in its digital and mobile servicing and reinvest in its branch network in "key locations".

The bank also said that less than 50% of its customers now actively use its branch network, with the average footfall declining over 50% since 2017, faster than any point in the last decade.

A spokesman for the bank added that it hopes to redeploy all 400 staff to new roles within 15 miles of their homes.

Jackie Uhi, head of HSBC º£½ÇÊÓÆµ's branch network, said: "The way people bank is changing - something the pandemic has accelerated.

"Our branches continue to support people with their more complex banking needs, but the way we can do this has also evolved, with the addition of banking hubs, community pop ups and continued use of the Post Office network.
