Major US banks close 36 locations in just three weeks

Major banks have closed 36 locations across America in just three weeks, as experts warn communities are being stripped of vital local services.

Between April 26 and May 15, major lenders including Santander, US Bank and Wells Fargo were among the eight banks to notify the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) of planned closures.

Banks are required to alert the OCC before shutting down a branch and the agency then publishes the filings in a weekly report.
