Bank of America and US Bank said they will close eight branches each, while Chase will close one.

The closures were reported to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which reports the figures in a weekly bulletin.

The closures represent a trend as major banks move away from costly physical branches in favor of online services.

“Most Americans, from Gen Z to baby boomers, have less need for a traditional bank, which may explain the increasing number of brick-and-mortar branches that have been closing over the past year,” Andrew Murray, principal data researcher at GOBankingRates, told DailyMail.com.

TO Recent GOBankingRates Survey They found that even retirees prefer online banking to in-branch services.

Overall, 78 percent of Americans prefer to use mobile and online banking and nearly one in four did not visit their bank in the past year.

“Our survey of more than 1,000 adults clearly shows that demand for in-person banking services is low across all generations, including among baby boomers age 65 and older,” Murray said.

‘Overhead costs (rent, maintenance, supplies and staff salaries) are likely to be a major factor, especially considering our survey shows how infrequently people visit physical banks.’

In fact, closures can result in significant savings, as operating a stand-alone bank branch costs on average about $2.6 million a year.

US banks closed 539 branches in the first six months of the year

Bank of America closed eight branches in the same week

The most affected state was California which recorded 72 national bank closures in the first half of the year.

New York ranked second with 51 closures, followed by Pennsylvania with 40.

“Over the past few years, we have resized our branch network and may continue to combine two older existing branches into one better-located location,” Wells Fargo told DailyMail.com in a statement.

“Doing so does not diminish the importance of our customers or the communities we serve.”

Bank of America also said they tend to consolidate two branches into one when there is a closure.

“These changes to our branch network reflect the fact that our customers are increasingly using digital banking for their everyday financial needs and are turning to financial centers for more important needs or to have conversations about their finances,” the corporation explained.

The US bank also highlighted customer migration to online banking and a “desire for greater simplicity” as reasons for its mass closures.

“As we evolve alongside our customers, we are re-evaluating our physical presence and, in some cases, consolidating branches in select markets,” the bank said in a statement.
