HSBC has announced its Northallerton branch is to close.

The bank, which is one of 82 across the country set to shut this year, will close on August 27.

The bank will shut its Richmond branch on August 6.

HSBS says the closures are part of changes to how its branches will work.

HSBC spokesperson Jackie Uhi said: “Over the last few months, we’ve been conducting a number of pilots to test out a range of potential future branch formats at different locations to make sure we are giving customers what they want where they want it.”

She added: “The direction of travel is really quite clear and this is borne out by the reduction in branch usage and increase in digital interaction that we are seeing first-hand.”

Of the 82 sites closing, 81 are within a mile of a Post Office, two thirds are within five miles of another HSBC branch and nine in 10 are within 10 miles, the bank added.
