This news will mean that another unit will become empty on Sauchiehall Street joining the likes of BHS and M&S with the street looking a shadow of its former self.

Customers who use the branch have been written to informing them that the bank will close on February, 5 2024 with a notice also appearing on the window of the branch.

Halifax stated on their website: “We’ve been looking at the way customers use our branches, as many are choosing to use other ways to bank.

“With more customers banking digitally, we’ve seen a fall in branch visits. Because of this, we’ve decided to close this branch.”

Any Bank of Scotland branches can be used by Halifax customers with the nearest being across the road at 54 Sauchiehall Street.
