But any closures can be an issue for others, particularly elderly people in rural areas who don't have access to the internet .
However, if your local branch is set to close, or has recently, you have some options.
You can carry out most basic banking tasks at your nearest Post Office .
You won't be able to apply for a loan or open a new bank account at once though.
You can find your nearest Post Office branch by using the locator tool on its website.
Meanwhile, many banks offer a mobile banking service - where they bring a bus to your area offering services you can usually get at a physical branch.
Other banks use buildings such as village halls or libraries to offer mobile banking services .
It's worth contacting your bank to see what services they have available, and when they might next be in your area.
