Barclays in Barnard Castle will pull down the shutters for the last time on January 17, 2025 as the company announces a string of 20 closures of branches across the country.
This news comes as the business previously promised the branch would stay open, and customers wishing to bank in person will now need to visit Barclays in Darlington and Bishop Auckland.
The sign reads: "We're changing the way we support you in Barnard Castle. We'll still be part of your community, look out for more details coming soon."
In their reasons for closing the branch, a Barclays spokesperson said: "Back when we opened this branch, visiting us in person was one of the only ways to do your banking.
"Now, as there are lots of ways to manage your money without even leaving your home, we’re seeing many customers choosing to bank using our app, and Online or Telephone Banking.
"This has had a big impact on the number of customers coming in to see us."

Currently, only 28 customers use the branch regularly as the only way to do their banking; 87 per cent of the branch's customers also use the app, online, and phone service to bank; and 21 per cent of the branch's customers have visited nearby branches in the last 12 months.
Four years ago, Barclays committed to keeping a total of 105 last-in-town and remote branches open until at least October 2021.
Since this date, they have shut the Middleton-in-Teesdale branch and earmarked the Barnard Castle branch for closure too.
