The closures come as more customers use online banking to manage their finances.
Banks have closed down sites that to help cut their costs.
However, around 39% of people over 65 were found to not use online banking and were at "high risk of financial exclusion" as result of closures.
What to do if your local bank is set to close
If a recent bank or building society closure has left you without a close branch, you have some alternatives.
You can carry out basic banking tasks at your nearest Post Office.
You can find your nearest Post Office branch by using the locator tool on its website.
Some banks also offer a mobile banking service - where they bring a bus to your area offering services you can usually get at a physical branch.
Other banks use buildings such as village halls or libraries to offer mobile banking services.
Contact your bank to see what services they have available, and when they might next be in your area.
New super ATMs are being rolled out across the UK where branch closures have left residents unable to access essential banking services.
These ATMs will allow customers to withdraw funds, access their balance, change PIN numbers and deposit cash.
Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Halifax, Lloyds, NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and Ulster Bank are already signed up to allow deposits, at the super ATMs.
Banking hubs are also being opened across the UK with 250 set to be available by the end of 2025.
