THE Warrington branch of the Yorkshire Bank has closed after some 40 years in business in the town.
It had been due to close in May, but it is understood the closure was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
All branding had been removed from the building in Buttermarket Street the day after the closure.
The nearest alternative branch is at St Helens, but there are another three branches within 18 miles of Warrington.
A dwindling number of customers making physical visits to the branch is thought to have led to the closure decision. Many customers now prefer to use internet or telephone to carry out day-to-date banking transactions.
There are a number of cash machines close to the bank and the Post Office, in Golden Square, also provides customers with an alternative for cash withdrawals or paying in cash or cheques.
