Seven Bank of Scotland branches across the north-east are set to close, it has been revealed.
Services in Aberdeen’s John Street, Cullen, Fochabers, Portsoy, Aberlour, New Pitsligo and Macduff are among 23 Scottish branches set to be shut.
A Bank of Scotland spokesman said: “In 2014 Lloyds Banking Group announced a three-year strategy, which included a programme of planned branch closures.
“As part of this strategic review, we can confirm today that Bank of Scotland will be closing 23 branches.
“In most cases, this is as a result of falling customer demand while in others it is because of overlaps with other nearby branches.”
The company said there would be no compulsory redundancies as a result of the changes. Employees will instead be offered the chance to redeploy to roles within the group.
