Upminster's Halifax bank is set to close, it has been confirmed.
The Station Road branch is one of 15 which will shut between September and November this year.
This closure - which the bank has said is due to the increasing popularity of online banking - is part of a cull which will also see 29 Lloyds Bank branches close.
Retail director of the Lloyds Banking Group, Vim Maru, said: "Like many businesses on the high street, we must change for a future where branches will be used in a different way, and visited less often."
Branches in Hornchurch and Romford are to remain open.
