Brand abolished

All current accounts with the Norwich and Peterborough building society will be closed, the brand abolished, and some branches closed.

Owners Yorkshire Building Society (YBS), the UK's second largest mutual, said it would close 28 N&P branches and 20 YBS branches this year.

Customers who want to continue operating a current account will have to find a new bank or building society.

A total of 440 jobs are at risk as a result of the overhaul.

The N&P customers will be contacted and told of their options before their accounts are closed on 31 August 2017, as the YBS concentrates on savings and mortgages.
The announcement comes a year after YBS embarked on a separate rebranding and branch closure programme, in which N&P was unaffected.
