Wells Fargo, Chase and Bank of America among US banks to shutter 79 branches in just over a month

US banks closed 79 branches in just six weeks - as the industry increasingly offers services online. The figures suggest the axing of costly bricks-and-mortar locations will continue, with total closures so far for 2024 above 400. California is worst affected by the recent closures with 20 registered shutterings between April 20 and June 1.
