A major US bank will now permanently shutter 15% of its branches starting in January of 2024.

Executives at Huntington Bank have announced that the branches inside 11 ‘Cub’ supermarkets in Minnesota will be shutting down.

Huntington (Huntington Bank) Bancshares Incorporated is an American bank holding company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.

The company is ranked 521st on the Fortune 500, and is 26th on the list of largest banks in the United States

The branches will be closing down on January 12 and these feature facilities for customers who want to withdraw cash and deposit checks, per The Star Tribune.

“Banks in Minneapolis, Blaine, Bloomington, Burnsville, Coon Rapids, Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, Maplewood, West St. Paul, and White Bear Lake will close.

The locations are said to make up 15 percent of the chain’s locations in Minnesota,” reports The-Sun.

“The upcoming closures come after the bank chain, which has 1,200 stores, announced a raft of future shutdowns.

Huntington Bank branches are set to shutter across Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, as revealed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Nine branches in Michigan are set to go to the wall and the closures are part of the banking giant’s consolidation plans.”

Toledo Blade reports that a total of 34 Huntington Bank branch locations will shutter by early next year.

But Huntington isn’t the only bank closing branches this year — this is a trend that even larger banks have fallen into, primarily due to the rising use of online banking.

Around 20 more Bank of America branches across the US will be closing down.

Brian Moynihan, the Bank of America CEO, said in an earnings call that the company’s headcount had reduced from 100,00 to 60,000, as reported by American Banker.
