Arbroath Santander closing due to ‘customer behaviour changes’
A spokesperson for Santander UK said: “As customer behaviour changes, we are ensuring that our branches remain fit for the future.
“Our new combination of full-service branches, alongside work cafes, counter-free branches and reduced hours branches, aims to provide the right balance between digital banking and face-to-face money management and guidance.
“As a business, we must move with customers and balance our investment across all the places where we interact with customers, to deliver the very best for them now and in the future.”
The nearest Santander branch following the closure will be in Dundee, 17 miles away.
There are also banking hubs in Carnoustie and Brechin.
Santander has issued more information and advice for Arbroath customers on its website.
It comes as the owner of an Arbroath boutique has issued a plea for locals to support businesses after closing.
