Thursday 4 August 2022 05:10 AM Westpac, Commonwealth Bank and NAB close 37 branches trends now Dozens of branches from the major banks are set to close - including Westpac, Commonwealth Bank and NAB By Kevin Airs For Daily Mail Australia Published: 05:01 BST, 4 August 2022 | Updated: 05:08 BST, 4 August 2022 Viewcomments Dozens of bank branches will be closed over the coming months, after more than 550 sites were shut since 2020. At least 37 branches will be closed across the country at the cost of almost 200 jobs. Westpac is making the biggest cuts, with 24 branches about to be shut down. Meanwhile the NAB is closing eight branches across three states and the Commonwealth Bank will be closing five branches. The cull has sparked a call for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to step in to guarantee banking services for Australians, especially in remote communities. 'We must act to stop the banks walking away from communities in our suburbs and towns,' Finance Sector Union national secretary Julia Angrisano said. 'Communities depend on the banks to deliver financial services but if we don’t stop the current trend, there will be no branches left.' More to come.
