Another raft of bank branch closures is to hit the UK this month as 53 branches are set to close in May.
Many major banks, including Lloyds Bank, Halifax and NatWest, are closing their high street outlets as more people move to online banking.
Several branches have already closed this month, including eight branches of Barclays and five branches of HSBC.
People may want to check the list to see if their local branch is affected and to check with their bank where their nearest branch will be.
Banks often put a sign in the window of a branch that is closing, with details of where customers can go if they want to continue to do their banking in person.

Customers may want to consider switching to online banking, as all the major banks have services for people to manage their accounts online and using apps.
People can also carry out some banking at the Post Office, including paying in cash and cheques and withdrawing money.
The major banks are also working together to set up banking hubs, where people can access counter services from several banks.
Several of the hubs have already opened and Age UK is calling for the rollout of the scheme to be accelerated as the closure of bank branches is particularly affecting older Britons.
A survey by the charity found there was a lot of support for in-person banking, with three quarters of over-65s who have a bank account wanting to do at least one banking task in person.
Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, said: “We need to face up to the fact that huge numbers of older people, the ‘oldest old’ especially, are not banking online.
“In addition, our new research also shows that even older people who do bank online often want the ability to talk to a bank employee in the flesh about some kind of transaction.
“These findings therefore demonstrate the huge and continuing demand for face to face banking services among our older population, and it’s crucial that the banks respond.
“Otherwise they are effectively disenfranchising millions who are willing and able to manage their finances – just not online.”
