Community Bankers at the Civic Centre Uckfield
Following the closure of the Lloyds Bank and Halifax branches in Uckfield in 2024, both banks moved their community banking services to The Civic Centre Uckfield.
Lloyds Banking Group, which owns both Lloyds Bank and Halifax, made the decision to close both Uckfield branches in September 2024, citing the switch to online banking from many of its customers.
Accord, the trade union for employees of Lloyds Banking Group, described: “Customer banking habits continue to evolve, with more people choosing to bank online or via mobile apps, reducing footfall in branches.
“The Group is consolidating services to reflect these changes, ensuring resources are focused on improving customer experience across its brands.
“These closures aim to enhance efficiency while allowing customers to access services at any branch within the Lloyds, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland networks.”
A full list of the closed branches owned by Lloyds Banking Group is available here.
