Another bank is to close in Midsomer Norton later this year.
The closure of the NatWest branch will take place on Friday, October 8th, and will leave the town with just one bank — the TSB found on High Street near South Road.
NatWest have published a guide to explain why it decided to close the branch and the next steps that customers can take.
It said the branch saw a 51 per cent decrease in counter transactions between January 2020 and January 2025, and that 69 per cent of personal customers using the branch also chose to use online banking or their mobile app between February 2024 to January 2025.
The bank highlighted the nearest branches where existing customers can conduct their business in Bath, Wells and Bristol, as well as other ways of doing banking, such as through banking hubs, post offices and using nearby cash machines.
NatWest say it will provide education on finding the right local banking services to support people to bank with them once the branch closes.
After the closure, the banking group says it will introduce a community pop-up which will be based in a community venue near to the closing branch, which will be accessible to all for up to 12 weeks.
