Latest News About Santander 13 Branches Closing Next Week

Here’s what’s known about Santander branch closures in the UK as of now.

• Santander announced a plan to close 44 branches across the UK in 2026, with many closures expected in April and May, and a number already shut earlier in the year. This is part of a broader shift toward digital banking and a reduced high-street footprint. [Source coverage indicates the plan and timeline, including the target of 44 branches and timing around spring 2026.][5][7][9]

• Among those, reports circulated that 13 branches were slated to close in a single upcoming week, with additional rounds in May as part of the same restructuring. The intent cited is to move customers toward online banking and “community” alternatives. [News outlets and summaries referenced the 13-branch wave and the continued closures into May.][2][3]

• If you are affected, Santander has stated alternatives such as “community bankers” at Santander Local stores or shared banking hubs to maintain in-person service access in impacted areas.[9]

What this means for residents near Figino (Lombardy) or elsewhere in Italy

• These closures pertain to Santander’s UK branch network. They do not affect Santander operations in Italy or Italian branches, so there would be no direct impact on your local Italian banking services unless you hold UK accounts or plan travel to the UK.
