*The 2023 figure is based on a different source (Savills), which may involve a change in methodology compared to previous years. This could impact the comparability of the data.
**The 2024 figure was calculated by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ based on the number of branch closures reported by which.co.uk and the number of branches in 2015.
For figures between 2012 and 2022, the source (House of Commons, Office for National Statistics) added the following information: The data is based on VAT and PAYE returns of "local units" in the bank and building society industries. Banks = Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 64.19/1; Building Societies are SIC code 64.19/2. A few of these local units may not be branches. Figures are for a date in March each year.Â
