Lloyds and others banks have been closing branches over the past few years because more customers are banking online rather than in person.
Vim Maru, the retail director at Lloyds Banking Group, said it had “seen customers carry out significantly fewer transactions at these locations”.
He said: “We’ve also seen our digital banking customers grow by over four million in five years, to almost 18 million, of which 13.6 million also choose to be active app users.
“This means that, like many businesses on the high street, we must change for a future where branches will be used in a different way, and visited less often.”
Lloyds previously announced it was closing branches in January 2020 when 56 locations were earmarked to shut.
There were 15 of the group’s banks which closed their doors by March 2019 and 49 before that.
Some of those closures involved job losses but there will be no compulsory redundancies with the closures announced today.
Lloyds isn’t the only bank to pull back from the high street and consumer group Which? calculates that 4,300 branches have been lost since January 2015.
HSBC, Natwest, Barclays, Santander, TSB are among the major banks to make closures during that time and the pandemic has led to a fresh wave.

Nearly 500 cash machines, including 250 free-to-use ATMS, are also being axed every month leaving millions unable to withdraw funds, according to figures from Which?.
Local shops will give out cashback and the Post Office will offer banking services, as part of a plan to fix access to cash in communities.
