Last updated 15th Mar 2022
HSBC is to shut 69 of its branches later this year, including three in Sussex.
The East Grinstead branch will close its doors for the final time on August 2nd. The Uckfield branch is shutting nine days later, on August 11th.
The Burgess Hill HSBC will close on September 13th.
The move comes a year after the banking gaint accounced the closure of 82 other branches.
The company says 400 staff will be affected, and it hopes to move them to similar positions at other local branches.
Jackie Uhi, head of HSBC UK's branch network, said:
"The way people bank is changing - something the pandemic has accelerated.
"Our branches continue to support people with their more complex banking needs, but the way we can do this has also evolved, with the addition of banking hubs, community pop ups and continued use of the Post Office network.
"Rather than a one-size-fits-all branch approach, it's an approach built around the way different customers are choosing to bank in different areas."
