Prestwick TSB branch, the last bank in the town, is to close it’s doors for good on Tuesday, March 2.

The nearest TSB bank is located in Ayr.

However, alternative banking provision will be made available to local residents at post office branches nearby.

The nearest post offices to the closing TSB branch are 86 Main Street, 151-153 Ayr Road Prestwick, and 24 Main Street Monkton .

The Edinburgh-based bank earmarked 73 branches for closure in Autumn last year following a ‘significant change in customer behaviour’.

TSB said branches had been selected to ensure 94 per cent of customers in Scotland are still within 20 minutes of one that will remain open.

Brian Sloan, Chief Executive of Age Scotland, said at the time of the announcement: “Those who rely on branches most tend to be older, disadvantaged, or on low incomes, and may not find it easy to travel to the next town to do their banking.”
