Do you care that local bank branches are closing?

Another day, another article from the BBC that Lloyds are shutting more branches. You could put any brand in there really.

Personally, I'm not that fussed that my local branch may close. I can arrange a mortgage over the phone, I can prod a few buttons on my banking app to get a loan with a personalised rate, and thesedays going into the branch just means another upsell opportunity from the clerk or one of the associates designed to pounce on you when you enter.

I get it why some are annoyed. Non tech savvy older types, those who 'only deal in cash' and such. But long gone are the days when you had a human sit you down and scope you out to see if you could afford that loan for a new car.
