One of the branches to shut is at Strand Road in Derry.
Said the Foyle MLA: “This announcement by Bank of Ireland is a huge blow to our local economy.
“My thoughts first and foremost are with the workers impacted and their families.
“It is always difficult to get such news but this is a very challenging time in the middle of a pandemic.
“This news will also be concerning for Bank of Ireland customers, over 200,000 across the North.
“Bank of Ireland must engage fully with its workers and their representatives as this unfolds.
“All efforts must be made to redeploy workers and reskilling opportunities should be made available to support workers.
“A Sinn Féin delegation will be meeting with Bank of Ireland and the Financial Services Union to discuss these closures and their impact in full.”
