Santander Bank, which has been gradually shrinking its Connecticut brick-and-mortar presence over the years, is closing its branches in downtown Hartford and Manchester, the Boston-based bank confirmed Thursday morning. The Santander branch at 115 Asylum St. in Hartford will close on April 27, and the Manchester branch at 525 West Middle Turnpike will close on April 20. The branches will be consolidated into existing locations in South Windsor and in Hartford's South End, the bank said. Santander, which has 483 branches nationwide, acquired Pennsylvania-based Sovereign Bank in 2009.
