TSB has announced plans to close 70 branches in 2022 as more customers switch to online banking.
The closures will result in 150 fewer jobs but staff who work at the affected branches will be found new work elsewhere within the bank.
The TSB branch on Alderley Road in Wilmslow is due to shut on June 14, next year.
It comes after the high street bank announced plans to cut around 900 jobs and close 164 of its branches in 2020.

Speaking in September 2020, the Spanish-owned bank said the cuts were driven by a “significant shift in customer behaviour”, as fewer people use branches and instead favour online banking.
The company, which is based in Edinburgh, had previously said it intended to reduce the size of its branch network but it has now accelerated plans amid the pandemic.
Government High Streets Task Force expert and ShopLocalOnline.org founder, Dr Jackie Mulligan, said:“This news is yet another hammer blow to the UK high street, which is already reeling after nearly two years of pain.
“The shift online is irreversible, but so, too, is the damage that a bank leaving a high street can cause for the shops that surround it.
“Local high street shops need their local communities more than ever and the gradual retreat of banks, which bring all-important footfall, poses another existential threat.”
