In October 2014, it announced to shed 9,000 jobs and shut down 200 branches over three years.
However, it would create 115 new positions across the group’s operations, taking the net job losses in the latest move to 525.
The bank plans to close the branches in October.
The company was quoted by City A.M. as saying in a statement: "Branches will continue to play an important role in our multi-channel approach to meeting customer needs and we expect to continue to have the biggest branch network in the UK.
"Lloyds Banking Group is committed to working through these changes with employees in a careful and sensitive way. All affected employees have been briefed by their line manager today. Accord and Unite were consulted prior to this announcement and will continue to be consulted."
The layoffs comes at a time when the UK government is reportedly looking to delay the sale of its stake in Lloyds and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) due to market volatility triggered by Brexit vote.
Currently, the treasury holds 73% stake in RBS and 9% in Lloyds.
Earlier this year, Lloyds announced plans to shed 1,775 jobs and close 29 branches, as part of the three-year cost cutting plan.
Accord’s general secretary Ged Nichols, said: "We will work to ensure that employees are treated with the dignity and respect that they are entitled to expect at this worrying time.
"Every individual Accord member who is threatened by the announcements is being contacted by the union and we’ll do everything we can to assist them."
In the latest move, Lloyds will shut branches in Blackfen (Sidcup), Bourne End (Bucks), Chapel Hill (Truro), Colindale (London), Colyton (Devon), Mill Hill (London), Netherton (Dudley), Newbridge (Gwent), Nottingham University, Pool (Cornwall), Radford (Coventry), Ryton (Tyne and Wear), Sandy (Beds), Shifnal (Shropshire), South Quay (London), Southwick (Brighton), Southwick (Sunderland), Stanford-le-Hope (Essex), Tonyrefail (Glamorgan) and Watchet (Somerset), SkyNews reported.
