Lloyds Bank in Crowborough to close

Lloyds Banking Group has confirmed it will shut four additional branches across Sussex as part of a wider announcement to close 95 sites nationwide.

The affected locations include three Halifax branches in West Sussex and one Lloyds Bank branch in East Sussex. 

Sussex Closure Schedule (2026)

These closures follow previous 2026 announcements for the region, including Halifax branches in Seaford and Hastings, and a Lloyds branch in 

Lewes ,all of which were scheduled for January 2026. 

National Context

The banking group—which includes Lloyds Bank, Halifax, and Bank of Scotland—is reducing its physical footprint due to a significant shift toward digital banking, with over 21 million customers now primarily using their mobile apps. 

• Remaining Network: Once all planned closures are completed by March 2027, the group expects to maintain approximately 610 branches.
• Staff Impact: Employees at affected branches will be offered alternative roles within the company.
• Access to Cash: To mitigate the loss of local branches, the LINK Cash Access UK network has recommended the creation of new banking hubs in some affected areas to ensure continued access to basic banking services.
