Major Bank Announces More Branch Closures in Pennsylvania; Here’s Where

If this isn't a sure sign of the times, I don't know what is.

More banks are being shut down in Pennsylvania

A major banking chain has announced more closures in the Keystone State, according to BankingDive.

Keep reading to see if your local branch is affected.

I never thought I see a day when banks everywhere weren't needed anymore (I said the same thing about movie theaters too, boy was I wrong).

Some branches are staying open, but banking headquarters are "trimming the fat" if you will, to adjust to changing consumer habits.

Banks are closing not just in the United States, but all over the world.

Customers are banking online more

There's been a complete shift in how people do their bank since the COVID-19.

An increasing amount of people are banking digitally these days.

Banking on your computer or your cell phone via the bank's app is common today, instead of visiting your local bank branch to deposit or withdraw money, among other things.

This of course leaves groups like the elderly or less tech-savvy people at a disadvantage.
