In an email sent to customers, Lloyds bank said: "Before we close, we look at how customers are managing their money.
"Most customers are now using our mobile app, internet banking or calling us, which means they are using branches, including the Ross-on-Wye branch, much less.
"We'll be closing our Ross-on-Wye branch."
