A west Suffolk town will be left with no banking services after Lloyds announced plans to pull its mobile branches. 

It has been revealed that Lloyds bank's mobile branch will no longer visit Clare from May 2024, a decision the banking giant said was due to customers choosing to bank online or using the app, rather than visiting the mobile branch.

Customers have been able to visit the mobile branch in Market Hill during set days and times for services including cashing in cheques, withdrawing cash, paying bills, sending money abroad or for general inquiries about their accounts.

But Lloyds said it has decided to end the service because it is being used less by customers.

A spokesman for Lloyds said: “Customers have used our mobile branches much less over time and some locations now have as little as two customers using the service.

“We’ll be introducing more community bankers, alongside the other options customers already have for their banking, including the Post Office, online, our mobile apps, phone banking, video services and web chat.”

It comes after Lloyds announced it would be axing its mobile services in Mildenhall and Lakenheath in December. 

The decision to axe the service comes as the group revealed it is cutting jobs across its branches as part of an ongoing shift away from face-to-face banking and towards mobile banking.
