flag NatWest will close its Bridport and Dorchester branches in October, ending its presence in west Dorset. flag The Dorchester branch closes October 22, and Bridport’s on October 29, leaving customers to travel up to 21 miles to Weymouth or Yeovil for in-person service. flag The bank cites growing digital banking use and industry trends as reasons, promoting online platforms and Post Office hubs. flag Lloyds also plans 49 UK branch closures, including in Gillingham and Yeovil. flag Research shows many still value local branches for financial advice and fraud prevention, with 60% seeing them as important for personal conversations. flag Despite the shift, concerns remain over reduced access to face-to-face banking.
