Santander branch in Salisbury set for temporary closure
By Swindon Now Editorial Team · Published
The Santander bank branch in Salisbury will close temporarily this October to allow for a programme of internal refurbishments.
The Santander branch in Salisbury is scheduled to close temporarily in October as part of a wider investment programme across the bank's UK network. The closure will facilitate an upgrade of the premises, which is intended to modernise the facilities for local customers.
The project is part of a 17 million pound investment that will see 31 branches across the country updated during 2026. According to the bank, the refurbishment work at the Salisbury site is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete. While specific dates for the temporary closure have not yet been finalised, the bank has noted that schedules for work starting in September are currently estimates and may be subject to change.
Once the upgrades are finished, the branch is set to feature a range of improvements. These include updated seating and interaction spaces, along with new meeting rooms designed to offer greater privacy for banking discussions. Additionally, the bank will install extra ATMs and introduce dedicated safe spaces, which are intended to provide support for those experiencing financial or domestic abuse.
During the period of the temporary closure, Santander has advised that customers should make use of alternative banking methods. The bank suggests utilising digital banking options, telephone services, or visiting local Post Office branches for day-to-day transactions. Customers are also able to access other nearby Santander branches if in-person assistance is required. Further details regarding the precise timeline of the works will be displayed at the branch closer to the start date of the refurbishment.
