National Australia Bank will close its Victor Harbor and Strathalbyn branches on Friday, 20 December 2019 due to catastrophic fire danger.

They are two of 11 branches in regional South Australia to be closed due to fire risk around the state.

The bank says the decision to close branches was made because the safety of its people and the community is its priority.

NAB encourages customers to use telephone banking as an alternative – 13 22 65. The bank has apologised for any inconvenience and thanked the volunteers and emergency services working to keep the community safe.
