HSBC has announced it will be closing its branch Falmouth later this year.

The bank will be closing 69 branches across the UK amid the shift to online banking.

The move is expected to affect around 400 staff, with the Falmouth branch set to close its doors for good.

Jackie Uhi, head of HSBC UK’s branch network, said: “The way people bank is changing – something the pandemic has accelerated.

“Our branches continue to support people with their more complex banking needs, but the way we can do this has also evolved, with the addition of banking hubs, community pop ups and continued use of the Post Office network.

“Rather than a one-size-fits-all branch approach, it’s an approach built around the way different customers are choosing to bank in different areas.”

The Falmouth branch of HSBC is set to close its doors in October.

It will be one of the last across the UK to shut.
