A planning application has been made by Station Bar Cafe Ltd to use the former Station Approach branch as a cafe.
The branch closed in November with bosses saying it was under-used because of the use of telephone and internet banking.
Accounts were to the branch in Poplar Road, Solihull.
The letter told customers: “At HSBC were are constantly evolving and developing our services to help you do your banking at a time and pace that suits you.
“And with the growth of telephone and internet banking in recent years, this is now easier than ever which has naturally resulted in some branches being used less often.”
It states: “Therefore after careful consideration we have taken the difficult decision to close our branch at Station Approach."
Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council will have a final say on the new plans.
