Clydesdale launches ‘one-stop-shop’ flagship Edinburgh branch

The move comes in the same month that the Glasgow-based lender announced that it was planning to close 40 of its Scottish branches.

Clydesdale said the new George Street facility would deliver a “one-stop-shop for customers, homebuyers and business clients” and employ 50 staff.

The outlet also includes a boardroom which business customers will be able to use free of charge for meetings and company presentations.

Clydesdale’s head of customer banking for Edinburgh, Richard Smith, said: “These new premises will help customers bank the way they want to today. The modern design and facilities reflect the new way we interact with and serve our customers.”
