All high street bank branches have seen custom fall

A major high street bank has announced the closure of its Wigan town centre branch planned for spring this year.

The Co-operative Bank has told bank staff of its proposals to close the Market Street store due to a lack of footfall.

Bank bosses have blamed the widespread switch from banking in person to digital banking, partially because of the company’s “investment and improvement” to its online provision.
