A spokesperson said: “This will doubtless be disappointing to Halifax customers in Chesterfield.
"However, alternative banking provision is available to local residents at post office branches nearby.”
The nearest post offices are at The Pavements, Chesterfield, Newbold Road and the Calow branch at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.
“Each of these branches offers banking services - including deposits, free cash withdrawals and balance checks,” the NFSP spokesperson said.
