The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) will proceed with its plans for closing branches in West Lothian, dismissing pleas from local residents and politicians.
Next month, RBS plans to shut down three of its branches in Armadale, Fauldhouse and Harthill, following reduction in the number of branch transactions across the region and customers’ increasing dependence on online banking and mobile phone apps, reports Daily Record.

A RBS spokesperson stated: "We have to adapt to what our customers want, which is why we’re investing in a range of other ways our customers can bank with us, including online and telephone banking, our mobile app, and in any one of the Post Office’s 11,500 branches across the UK."
The bank also stated that they will deploy mobile banking in the areas which will be affected due to the closures.
