US banks closed nine locations across the country in just one week.
The closures included branches of major banks such as Bank of America, Chase and Santander.
The rest were closed by BMO, Hawaii National Bank, Nicolet and Valley. Scroll down for the full list with addresses.
The closures, which spanned from Hawaii to New Jersey, were confirmed to the federal regulator between July 29 and August 4.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) monitors branch closures and openings and publishes them in a weekly bulletin.
Santander was among the large banks that closed locations
JP Morgan Chase also shuttered some of its branches
Major banks are increasingly moving away from expensive brick-and-mortar branches in favor of online services.
'The majority of Americans, from Gen Z to boomers, are in less need of a traditional bank, which may explain the rising number of physical branches that have been closing over the past year' Andrew Murray, lead data researcher at GOBankingRates told DailyMail.com.
A recent survey by GOBankingRates found that even seniors prefer online banking to in-branch services.
Overall 78 percent of Americans prefer using mobile and online banking and almost one in four did not visit their bank in the past year.
'It's likely that overhead costs (rent, maintenance, supplies and staff salaries) are a large factor especially given that our survey shows how infrequently people visit brick and mortar banks,' Murray said.
Indeed closures can lead to significant savings since the average freestanding bank branch costs around $2.6 million a year to run.
US banks closed 539 branches in the first six months of the year
US banks shut 539 branches in just the first half of the year, research by DailyMail.com shows.
The worst hit state was California which saw 72 closures. New York was second with 51 closures, followed by Pennsylvania at 40.
'Over the last several years, we have rightsized our branch network, and we may continue to combine two older existing branches into one better situated location' Wells Fargo told DailyMail.com.
'Doing so does not take away the importance of our customers and the communities we serve.'
US bank also highlighted clients' migration towards online banking and 'desire for greater simplicity' as reasons for their mass closures.
'As we evolve along with our clients, we are reevaluating our physical footprint, and in some instances, consolidating branch locations in select markets,' the bank said in a statement.
