NatWest has confirmed four more Devon banks will close this year. The bank group is to shut 36 branches across the UK by the end of July 2024.
Of the closures, 34 are NatWest and two are RBS banks. It means the total number of NatWest branches scheduled to close this year and into 2024 stands at 140, while the figure for RBS is four, the Mirror reports.
The latest move contrasts with Nationwide Building Society which last month promised to keep its high street branches open until 2026 in a bid to keep face-to-face banking alive in local communities.

It means the lender vows to keep its network of 605 branches open for the next three years. The Devon NatWest banks that will close are Tiverton, Exmouth, Tavistock and Plymouth.
In a message to customers the NatWest Tiverton branch stated: “Closing a branch is a difficult decision and not one we take lightly. We understand that this branch closure may be challenging for many and we’re working hard to help prepare our customers, and our colleagues, for the closure.
“All your banking details including sort code, account number, standing orders and direct debits will remain the same and you can continue to use your debit cards, paying-in books, and cheque books. Only the branch address on your statements and any new cheque books will change. If you need to write to us, the address will be Natwest Exeter High Street, 59 High Street, Exeter, Ex4 3DL.
“We will introduce a community pop-up site following closure where a local colleague will be available to support face-to-face conversations around your day-to-day banking needs, support you with setting up and using our digital services, provide information and advice on how you can use your local Post Office for cash based transactions, as well as provide advice on how to protect yourself against fraud and scams.”
