Small towns are often the first to lose their bank branches. When a branch closes, older residents may have to travel long distances to deposit cash or ask for help with their accounts. Banks argue that most customers now prefer their phones, and that keeping quiet branches open is too costly. Community groups reply that a digital service is useless for people without reliable internet access. Some banks are now testing shared branches, where several institutions divide the rent and staff of a single office.
