NatWest has permanently closed its Nantwich branch, leaving just TSB Bank, Yorkshire Building Society and Nationwide Building Society left in the town centre.

The major retail and commercial bank on High Street, ceased trading on Thursday 19 June.

NatWest's Nantwich branch is one of 53 shuttering across the UK in 2025, with the bank saying it will support all affected customers through the closures.

The company said these closures are part of a wider drive to focus on digital banking services.

The closest NatWest branch for Nantwich residents is now in Crewe town centre, five miles away (Ryan Parker).

A NatWest spokesperson said: "Our customers are using digital banking more than ever before.

"Over 80 per cent of our active current account holders now use our digital services and over 97 per cent of retail accounts with us are now opened online.

"Like any business, we strive to meet our customers' changing needs and expectations.

"We have been responding to the industry-wide shift towards digital services by investing to broaden what customers can do themselves and to offer them greater personalisation.

NatWest says 53 UK closures are part of a wider drive to focus on digital banking services (NatWest).

'We are also significantly investing in refreshing our network, we expect to invest in excess of £20m in our network across the UK in 2025 to improve customer service.

"This is also to enhance the look and feel of our branches, and reduce the environmental impact of our buildings, as well as continuing to invest in shared solutions like the Post Office and Banking Hubs."
