Hide AdHSBC stated the closures were due to a shift towards telephone and internet banking.
According to HSBC it aims to redeploy all customer service colleagues affected by the closures into “suitable nearby locations”.
The company said the decision to close Falkirk and the other 81 branches was down to “local market trends, customer behaviour and branch usage".
The closures, which are part of the business’s plans to become a market-leading digital bank, meant there are now 511 branches left throughout the UK and those sites will have to undergo an “overhaul” of the way they operate.
