TSB Bank announced on Wednesday (May 8) it would be closing 36 branches across the UK beginning in September, including one in Flint.

The closures are set to result in the loss of around 250 jobs across the business.

The job cuts will come from the fraud operations and central operations departments of the bank as well as staff from the branches earmarked for closure.

The latest round of branch closures will start in September 2024, and continue through to May next year.

A spokesman for TSB said: “The decision to close a branch is never taken lightly, but our customers are now doing most of their banking digitally and we need to move to a better balance of digital and face-to-face services.

“We remain committed to a national branch network and through innovation and integration with video, telephone, digital, branch and other face-to-face services TSB customers have more ways to bank with us than ever before.”

Flint branch among 36 TSB Bank branches set to close

The TSB Bank branch in Flint -  8A Trelawny Square, CH6 5NN - is among the 36 closures announced on Wednesday.

As part of the banks 'branch closure review' TSB said the reasoning for closing the Flint branch was due to "the way customers bank with us is changing".

The reviews said: "Over 95% of transactions are now being made using mobile, online and other ways to bank, instead of in our branches. 

"And more customers than ever are using our Video and Telephone Banking service.

"We remain committed to face-to-face services across the country, and over 90% of our customers are within a 20 minute drive to a branch, or location of a Money Confidence Expert.

"But we want our services to reflect the current and future needs of our customers and keep open branches that are used the most, so sometimes this means that we have to close some branches."

The TSB Bank in Flint will close in May 2025, but an exact date is yet to be revealed.

The nearest TSB Bank branch to Flint is located 18 miles away in Wrexham (Priory Street, LL11 1SP).

Unite’s regional officer Andy Case said: “These workers perform essential work in the fraud departments and across the branch network."

Unite said it will be holding fresh negotiations with TSB about ways to further reduce job losses.
