Major US banks closed 74 locations in just six weeks this summer, leaving ever more Americans without access to local services.
Banks including US Bank, Chase and PNC closed 74 locations between July 17 and August 28.
Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Chase closed 14 branches each in the six week period, the most among the major institutions.
The banks did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment on the closures.
PNC closed seven branches, and US bank three, while the remainder were made up by other institutions including Citizens Bank and Huntington. Scroll down to see the full list with addresses.
Texas was the worst hit state, seeing nine closures from a range of banks over the time period.
New York also lost seven locations, followed by California, Florida and Michigan, that all closed five.
Banks are required to alert the OCC before shutting down a branch, and the federal agency then publishes these filings in a weekly report.
Banks with the highest number of closures over the time period
While the listings indicate intent to close, they are not final confirmations.
In 2024, banks closed a total of 1,043 branches nationwide and the trend has only accelerated in 2025.
New research also recently revealed that the last physical branch could close in 2041.
Experts from Self Financial reached the number by studying the rate of net closures across the country, which has averaged 1,646 each year since 2018.
‘Retail bank closures in the US aren’t slowing,’ Darren Kingman from Root Digital previously told the Daily Mail.
‘The last time this many people shared a local branch was in 1995,’ he explained.
Kingman warned that while the US edges toward a cashless future, over 200 million Americans still deposit cash — meaning longer lines and worse service as access shrinks.
Despite the digital shift, a GoBankingRates survey also found 45 percent of Americans still prefer in-person banking.
Chase was among the banks that closed the most local branches over the last six weeks
