PRINCETON, NJ – Santander Bank is closing its Princeton and two other Mercer County locations in March.

The branch located at 188 Nassau Street will be closing on March 16, a company spokesperson told Patch. Customers can still bank at 44 Princeton-Hightstown Road, Princeton Junction.

“Like many industries, our customers' preferences have changed, with more customers choosing to bank with us online,” the bank said in a statement. “Therefore, we are reimagining the customer and employee experience by simplifying our process, refining our branch footprint, and increasing our investment in digital capabilities to align with the evolving needs of our customers.”

The two other Mercer County branches — in Hamilton and Robbinsville, will close on March 23 and March 30 respectively.

The bank has closed 18 percent (more than 100) of its branches since June 2020 and plans to close more, according to Philadelphia Business Journal.

Santander Bank still has more than 150 locations in Garden State, the company website shows.

Spain-based Santander Group has its U.S. headquarters in Boston with locations in nine states.
