Lloyds Banking Group is undergoing a branch restructuring that raises concerns about potential closures and job cuts. Reports indicate that the bank, along with Halifax and Bank of Scotland, may close hundreds of branches as customer access to local services diminishes. This move comes amid the growing popularity of digital banking and neobanks, which are challenging traditional banking models. The shift reflects broader pressures on financial institutions to adapt to changing consumer preferences, particularly as more customers opt for online banking solutions. The restructuring has prompted warnings to customers about the 'huge change' in bank branch availability, leading to fears of losing local banking services.
