NatWest to Close Two Oxfordshire Branches
- NatWest plans to close its branches at Market Place, Abingdon, on September 24, and Manorsfield Road, Bicester, on September 30, 2025.
- The closures follow a 48 percent drop in Abingdon branch customers and 55 percent decline in Bicester since January 2020, amid rising digital banking use.
- NatWest will offer community pop-up centres with face-to-face services like online account setup and scam advice for 12 weeks after each closure.
- A NatWest spokeswoman highlighted that digital banking usage among customers has reached unprecedented levels, with more than 80 percent of active current account holders accessing services online and 97 percent of retail accounts being opened through digital channels.
- The bank’s branch reductions are part of a broader strategy to sustain its network and invest over £20 million in the UK while adapting to demand shifts away from physical visits.
