Two major high street banks confirm 48 new closures from this summer- is your local disappearing for good?

TWO major high street banks are set to close almost 50 bank branches between them in a fresh blow for the high street.

NatWest is pulling down the shutters on 47 locations in the coming months, with RBS set to close one permanently.

Branches in London, Surrey and Kent will all close for good, according to LINK.

It comes after NatWest confirmed in November it would close 19 of its locations in a blow for bankers.
