People living in and around London will be interested in the first new bank to be opened in the UK for more than 100 years. Metro Bank has just opened their first branch in Holborn and plans to open another branch in Earls Court in August this year. A further 10 branches are promised over the next 2 years with a network of 200 branches during the next 10 years. All will be within the M25.
It doesn’t look as though they will win any prizes for competitive interest rates and instead will focus on better service and convenient opening hours. Branches will be open 7 days a week and from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday; 8am until 6pm on Saturdays and 11am to 4pm on Sundays.
Branches will have toilets and dog owners will be pleased to learn that they can take their dogs into the bank where they will be given a bowl of water and a bone (the dog, not the owner).
You can use their free coin counting machines to count up all the extra pennies you can make by working after 65 now that the Government are going to make it illegal for your firm to push you out just because you’ve reached retirement age.
Be well
