ROSCOE VILLAGE — Chase is closing its Western Avenue and Addison Street branch in December.

The branch and ATM, 3531 N. Western Ave., will be closed on Dec. 5, according to an email sent to customers on Thursday. It will be consolidated with another branch about a mile northeast at 3868 N. Lincoln Ave.

Another branch at 1230 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Wicker Park will also be closed on Dec. 6. The decision to close that branch was sparked in part by technology and the fact banking is “no longer a one-sized fits all approach,” according to a Chase spokesman.
