Santander Bank plans to close an additional 16 Massachusetts branches, including six in Boston, bringing its total branch closings in Massachusetts this year to at least 32.

The bank filed plans last week with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to close 16 more branches, mostly in the Greater Boston area.

The Boston Business Journal first reported the most recent branch closings.

Santander had filed plans in February and March to close another 16 branches, many in communities south of Boston.

“Like many industries, our customers’ preferences have changed, with more customers choosing to bank with us online,” Santander said in a statement in March. “Therefore, we are reimagining the customer and employee experience by simplifying our processes, refining our branch footprint, and increasing our investment in digital capabilities to align with the evolving needs of our customers.”

The latest round of closings affects several Greater Boston branches. Six Boston locations will close, including in the North End, South End, Park Square, Longwood Medical Area, Beacon Hill and Dorchester.

The branches closing include:

• 67 Beacon St., Boston
• 31 St. James Ave., Boston
• 6 Francis St., Boston
• 287 Hanover St., Boston
• 521 Tremont St., Boston
• 585 Columbia Rd, Dorchester
• 30 Forbes Rd, Braintree
• 1228 Boylston St., Chestnut Hill
• One Park St., Ayer
• 94 Great Rd, Bedford
• 1985 Lakeview Ave., Dracut
• 555 Broadway, Lawrence
• 181 Main St., Marlborough
• 695 Highland Ave, Needham
• 818 Washington St., Holliston
• 25 Center St., Weston

The $99 billion-asset Santander had closed another 30 Massachusetts branches in 2021. Last year the bank had a few branch relocations and one consolidation to a new Boston branch at 885 Boylston St.
