Barclays have announced that one of their Carlisle branches will close later this year.

The Carlisle Rosehill Barclays branch will close on November 5th, 2021.

Barclays have outlined their reasons for why the Carlisle Rosehill branch is closing:

• "The number of counter transactions has gone down in the two years to March 2020, and additionally 78% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone."

• "Customers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 9% since 2015."

• "In the past 12 months, 56% of this branch's customers have been using nearby branches."

• "We’ve identified that only 120 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking."

The nearest branches following the closures will be at 33 English Street, Carlisle CA3 8JX and Market Square, Penrith CA11 7YB, some 1.9 and 17.9 miles away, respectively.
