Wells Fargo axes another 13 branches in a single week as a host of banks shut down vital services – is YOURS on the chopping block?

  • Wells Fargo filed to close thirteen locations: five in California and three in Florida
  • KeyBank, with branches in the Northwest and Northeast, will close ten ‘charters’

Six banks filed last week to close nearly 40 branches, leaving millions of Americans without access to essential financial services, with Wells Fargo alone cutting 13 locations.

Wells Fargo has been a leader in branch closures across the country. Wells Fargo closed 160 in the first half of the year, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

And the latest filings with the regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Coin (OCC), indicated that five would now close in California, three in Florida and another five elsewhere in the country.

An application by regional bank KeyBank to close 10 branches was unique because nine of those “branches” were in fact “charters” that allowed a handful of retail customers to make deposits, a bank spokesperson told DailyMail.com.

KeyBank has said the 'branches' it has filed to close are actually 'charters' that allow their private banking customers to make deposits

“KeyBank has made the business decision to enter into nine charters for Key Private Bank offices,” spokesperson Meg Lower said in a statement to DailyMail.com.

“These charters allowed Key Private Bank to collect deposits from customers at its offices in these various locations. As part of the charter closing process, we filed the appropriate notice with the OCC last week, which was labeled a branch closure.”

Unlike Wells Fargo, whose branches are spread across a number of states, KeyBank is limited to a handful in the Northeast and Northwest. Four of KeyBank’s closures occurred in Ohio.

US Bank, Citizens, Chase and Associated Bank also had to be notified of closures this week, with seven, three, two and one proposed respectively.

Associated is headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and has 200 locations in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota.

This year alone, a total of 1,144 national and regional banks in 49 states closed between Jan. 1 and July 31, according to S&P data reviewed by DailyMail.com.

And these latest closures come after an exclusive DailyMail.com poll found that 51 percent of consumers said they were very or somewhat concerned about the dwindling number of bank branches.

The study also found that physical services were less accessible to Black Americans. While 14 percent of black Americans said they don’t have a local chapter, only 8 percent of white Americans did.

When banks close a branch, they must notify the OCC.

In a statement to DailyMail.com earlier this year, a spokesperson said: ‘The OCC understands the importance of bank branches and is committed to supporting access to banking services in all communities.’

They also noted that while banks and credit unions must notify their “primary regulator” of closures, the law requiring them to do so does not allow the regulator to object to the closure.
