The Royal Bank of Scotland announced that it will close 259 branches and cut 680 jobs as it reduces costs and encourages customers to use online and mobile services.
Jane Howard, RBS’s managing director of branch banking, said that customers are increasingly using mobile and online channels rather than bricks-and-mortar branches, and RBS had to react to that.
“There will be some customers that will be really disappointed we are closing branches and I understand why. But it’s important that we do respond.”
RBS is investing in its remaining branches and its digital offering, Howard said, adding: “Given what we know, we’ve got the right shape of network.”
