Metro Bank will open its first branch in Central London on July 29th.
Britain’s first new high street banking group since the 19th century will open its doors on Thursday promising a return to traditional banking practises from its ultra modern premises.
The flagship branch is the first of twelve planned openings across Greater London during the next two years, with premises in Borehamwood and Fulham Broadway already being fitted out in readiness for October launches.
Despite the promise of traditional banking values, Metro Bank opening hours are straight out of the 21st century and the branches will open at 8am until late and also at weekends.
John Wriglesworth, Moneyexpert and Immediate Financial, comments:
“Metro Bank’s launch is excellent news for the retail financial services sector as well as ordinary consumers. People will be given more choice on the high street and we should see additional competitive deals which will spur other banks and building societies into offering similar – and potentially even better – products. The banking sector – which has been shaken over the last couple of years – will also take heart from a new entrant with ambitious plans for the future.”
