Az Egyesült Királyságban egyre több bankfiók bezár – Íme a teljes lista a 2025-re tervezett bezárásokról. Az Egyesült Királyság főutcái tovább ürülnek, mivel idén több száz bankfiók végleg bezárja kapuit. Az utóbbi években folyamatosan csökkent a bankfiókok száma, mivel az ügyfelek egyre inkább az online és mobilbankolás felé fordulnak.
Több mint 6 000 bankfiók zárt be 2015 óta
A legfrissebb adatok szerint 2015 januárja óta összesen 6 214 bankfiók szűnt meg az Egyesült Királyságban – ez havonta átlagosan 53 bezárást jelent. A spanyol tulajdonú Santander múlt hónapban bejelentette, hogy 2025-ben 95 fiókját zárja be, ezzel 750 munkahelyet veszélyeztetve. De nem ők az egyetlenek: a Lloyds, Halifax, Bank of Scotland és NatWest is jelentős bezárásokat tervez erre az évre.
A Lloyds és a Halifax ráadásul márciusban további bezárásokat is bejelentett. A birminghami Hodge Hill-i Lloyds fiók is a bezárásra ítéltek között van, bár a pontos dátum még nem ismert. A Halifax Cornhillben (Lincoln) található fiókját pedig május 14-én zárja be.
Különösen az idősek és vidéki ügyfelek kerülnek nehéz helyzetbe
A helyi bankfiókok bezárása különösen nehéz helyzetbe hozza az idősebb vagy mozgáskorlátozott ügyfeleket, valamint a kisvállalkozásokat, akik még mindig nagyban támaszkodnak a személyes ügyintézésre.
A probléma tovább súlyosbodik a vidéki területeken, ahol a gyenge szélessávú internetkapcsolat vagy a rossz mobiltelefonos lefedettség miatt az online bankolás nem mindenki számára megoldás.
A Pénzügyi Magatartási Hatóság (FCA) előírja, hogy a bankoknak és takarékszövetkezeteknek biztosítaniuk kell, hogy a helyi közösségek továbbra is hozzáférhessenek pénzügyeikhez. A Santander szerint még a bezárások után is az Egyesült Királyság lakosságának 93%-a 10 mérföldön belül elérhet majd egy bankfiókot.
A bankoknak szükség esetén ATM-eket vagy nyílt banki központokat kell létrehozniuk a Postahivatalokban, ahol az alapvető banki szolgáltatások továbbra is elérhetők maradnak.
Nem minden bank döntött úgy, hogy fiókokat zár be: az HSBC 2026 előtt nem tervez újabb bezárásokat, míg a Nationwide azt ígérte, hogy legalább 2028-ig nem zár be egyetlen fiókot sem. A Metro Bank pedig nemcsak hogy nem tervez bezárásokat 2025-ben, hanem három új fiókot is nyit Gatesheadben, Chesterben és Salfordban.

Ha az Ön környékén is bezár egy fiók, érdemes időben megtervezni az átállást online bankolásra, vagy alternatív banki megoldásokat keresni. Forrás
