Two more NatWest banks in the West Midlands will close later this year. The branch in Anchor Road, Aldridge, will shut on July 20 which will be followed a week later by Market Street, Tamworth.

They have become the latest in a string of closures over the past few years by one of the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ's largest banking groups, including Birmingham branches in Broad Street, Jewellery Quarter and also Royal Bank of Scotland in New Street.

These add to sites in Wylde Green, near Sutton Coldfield, Stourbridge, Bromsgrove and Walsgrave Road in Coventry among several others in the region.

NatWest said in a statement: "As with many industries, most of our customers are shifting to mobile and online banking because it's faster and easier for people to manage their financial lives.

"We understand and recognise that digital solutions aren't right for everyone or every situation and that, when we close branches, we have to make sure that no one is left behind.

"We take our responsibility seriously to support the people who face challenges in moving online so we are investing to provide them with support and alternatives that work for them."

This latest pair is part of a º£½ÇÊÓÆµ-wide portfolio of sites totalling 81 which have been newly tabled for closure between June and November this year by NatWest and also Lloyds.
