Banks continue to shut down branches, and your bank may be the next one to close its doors.
The trend has affected banks like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and TD Bank. It has also led to the closing of KeyBank branches.
KeyBank recently announced its plans to close several branches nationwide this year. Is your branch one of the spots closing its doors? Check this list to find out if you might need to open a new bank account somewhere.

Other bank closings could hurt you
![TD Bank branch in Philadelphia](https://cdn.financebuzz.com/filters:quality(75)/images/2024/03/18/td-bank-branch-in-philadelphia.jpeg)
KeyBank isn’t the only bank to announce branch closures. Chase, Wells Fargo, and TD Bank have also shuttered branches.
It’s a trend that is continuing from 2023 into this year. Bank of America, for example, closed 160 branches in 2023 and announced additional closures this year.
A January flurry of shutdowns
![bank of america logo outside building](https://cdn.financebuzz.com/filters:quality(75)/images/2024/03/18/bank-of-america-logo-outside-mall.jpeg)
Banks announced a total of 41 closures over just one week in January. For the week starting January 15, the branch closings were announced by companies like Chase, U.S. Bank, and Bank of America.
Throughout January, almost 140 branches were put on the chopping block across the country, so you’ll want to see if your local bank branch is closing anytime soon.
Banks that closed in 2024
![New York Community Bank logo](https://cdn.financebuzz.com/filters:quality(75)/images/2024/03/18/new-york-community-bank-logo.jpeg)
The good news is that no banks have announced they are closing entirely in 2024.
But that doesn’t mean banks aren’t struggling. One bank to keep an eye on is New York Community Bank, which needed an infusion of cash to stay afloat.
The bank recently announced that it was struggling after a surprise loss because of bad commercial real estate loans.
Bank closures in 2023

In March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank in California and Signature Bank in New York failed within days, causing customers to worry about their funds.
