Natwest has revealed it is to close its branch in a Hampshire town.
NatWest in Alresford will close next year and its two staff will either be relocated or made redundant.
The East Street branch is now opening its doors to customers to “help them with different ways to bank”, said Sarah Binnie, of RBS communications which represents NatWest.
In a statement she said: “We have taken the difficult decision to close our NatWest Alresford branch on March 25, 2015.
“The number of transactions taking place at this branch has dropped by 15 per cent over the last few years. Over our whole branch network there has been a 30 per cent drop in branch transactions since 2010 as people do their banking where and when it is convenient for them, while online and mobile transactions have grown by over 200 per cent.”
