Santander has confirmed it will close 23 branches in June, after previously announcing it would shut the doors of 95 locations in 2025.
This would leave the bank with 349 branches, down from 444 before the cuts.
A Santander UK spokesperson said: "As customer behaviour changes, we are ensuring that our branches remain fit for the future.

"Our new combination of full-service branches, alongside work cafés, counter-free branches and reduced-hours branches, aims to provide the right balance between digital banking and face-to-face money management and guidance.
"Closing a branch is always a very difficult decision, and we spend a great deal of time assessing where and when we do this and how to minimise the impact it may have on our customers."

While individual branches are closing down, banking hubs are popping up in high streets to replace them, with the 150th recently opening its doors.
These are offered through the Post Office, which will continue to offer basic banking services until 2030.
Major banks and building societies have signed a £1.75 billion contract to continue offering services at Post Office counters for at least the next five years, as the current deal was due to expire next year.
Gareth Oakley, chief executive of Cash Access UK, said: “The format of banking hubs is continually evolving as we learn from our experience.
“They may come in different shapes and sizes to best meet the needs of the community, but whatever their format, they all provide easy access to cash and banking services and a warm and welcoming customer experience.
“We’re pleased to work closely with Co-op for the first hub opening within a convenience store.
"It’s a great, convenient spot and naturally there is a lot of footfall into the shop.”
