The firm will close its smaller branch, in North Station Road, Colchester, at 2pm on June 4.
After this all customers in Colchester and the surrounding areas will be administered from the bank's other branch, in High Street, which will remain open.
The North Station Road branch is one of 82 across the UK being closed between April and July.

Staff in branches facing closure are set to be redeployed to other branches and sites within 15 miles of their homes, the bank said.
HSBC said the closures are part of plans to become a market-leading digital bank and an overhaul of how remaining branches will operate.
Of the 82 sites closing, 81 are within a mile of a Post Office, two thirds are within five miles of another HSBC branch and nine in 10 are within 10 miles, the bank added.
