HSBC’s Nathan Road branch remained closed on Wednesday. Citibank said its two branches in Wai Fung Plaza, also in the district, will shut early at 5pm.

Argyle Street and Nathan Road have seen intermittent violent clashes between protesters and police, with the Occupy Central movement now entering its 25th day.

At its peak on September 29, the number of closures totalled 36 branches, offices or ATMs of 20 banks.
