Lloyds Bank has announced plans to close its Harrogate later this year.

The Lloyds branch on Cambridge Crescent will shut on 19th November as part of a wider closure programme across the UK.

Lloyds Banking Group has confirmed it will close 31 Lloyds Bank branches and 48 Halifax branches nationwide.

A Lloyds Banking Group spokesperson said:

“With access to one of the biggest branch networks in the UK, customers can now use any of our Lloyds or Halifax branches, including the nearby Halifax branch.

“Alongside other local banking options like our Community Bankers, the nearby Post Office, PayPoint, plus our leading apps and 24/7 messaging service, we offer our customers more choice and convenience than ever before.”

The banking group says Lloyds customers will be able to use the Halifax branch on Oxford Street, which is around a minute’s walk from the Cambridge Crescent site, in the same way they currently use Lloyds.

Customers affected by the closure will be contacted about alternative banking services available locally, with additional support offered to vulnerable customers.

Lloyds Banking Group has also confirmed that all colleagues working at the Harrogate branch will be offered a role at another branch or elsewhere within the business.
