Branch closures

Closure Impact Analysis and Stakeholder Engagement reports

Making sure we have a sustainable branch network that is fit for the future is essential to us and decisions to close branches are not taken lightly. In recent years, as more digital capability has been introduced, our customers are increasingly using Online, Mobile and Telephone banking.

  • over the past 5 years, use of the bank’s branch network by regular customers has fallen by 65%
  • 90% of people do their banking online, using our app or by phone
  • 99% of cash withdrawals are made at an ATM

As a result, we sometimes have to make the difficult decision to close a branch. HSBC fully supports and follows the FCA Finalised Guidance on branch closures (FG22/6) dated October 2022 and the industry-wide Access to Banking Standard introduced by UK Finance in May 2017.
