It is one of 23 Nat West branches that will close this year, in addition to the 43 announced last year.
The NatWest say the closures are necessary because more customers are choosing online and mobile banking and that visits to branches have dropped significantly.
In Birstall, comparing January 2019 and January 2022, counter transactions for personal customers decreased by 50% at the Birstall branch.
NatWest says the Birstall branch was used by 74 business customers on a regular basis in 2021. The branch was regularly used by zero personal customers in the same year.
The nearest NatWest bank to Birstall is at 2 Melton Road Leicester.
Customers can use their debit card to bank at the post office, where they can make cheque and cash deposits with a credit slip and withdraw cash up to their daily card limit. Business customers have the same facility at the post office and can register to use a change-giving service.
