Major bank follows Bank of America and will close sixth branch in weeks due to

A BANK is set to close its doors due to changing customer preferences.

The Santander Bank branch is due to close in mid-September.

Its location in Susquehanna Township in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania will be consolidated with a nearby branch in East Pennsboro Township, according to Penn Live.

Santander is a bank founded in Spain that operates over 600 bank branches across the US.

The bank stated that they will look to further digitize their operations in line with customer preferences.

Santander said: “Like many industries, our customers’ preferences have changed, with more customers choosing to bank with us online.

“Therefore, we are reimagining the customer and employee experience by simplifying our processes, refining our branch footprint, and increasing our investment in digital capabilities to align with the evolving needs of our customers.”

The location is set to shut on September 14.

This closure follows four other Santander branches across Pennsylvania being closed already this year.

These branches were in Cumberland, York, and Lancaster counties.

Santander also closed five central Pennsylvania branches last fall.

These were located in Dauphin, Lancaster, and York counties.

This news comes as more and more banks shut their doors across the country.

Along with branch closures, there have been bank failures in the near past.

The U.S. Sun recently reported that Georgia, Florida, and Illinois are the three states with the highest number of failures between 2000 and 2023.

Illinois has had 69 closures and Florida has had 76 in that time, according to a report from MyeListingcom.

Georgia topped the list with 93 bank failures since the start of the millennium.

The U.S. Sun reports on bank closures across the country like the Bank of America in California which is set to close in just a few months.

Another bank chain has revealed that eight of its branches will soon shut.
