💨 Abstract

Santander is closing 23 branches this month, with plans to shut at least 95 nationwide as customers shift to online banking. This move, which follows a broader trend of bank branch closures, has raised concerns about accessing cash and assistance for vulnerable individuals like the elderly. Age UK is campaigning to keep physical banking options available, as 4 million older Britons struggle with online financial management.
