The flagship Bank of Scotland in the city centre is to close from tomorrow as it undergoes a multi-million pound refurbishment.
The state-of-the-art branch on Argyle Street – which sees 50,000 through its doors every month – is to undergo a transformation to meet the "changing needs of high street customers" and "act as a testing ground for the future of banking in Scotland."
It is set to reopen in December and will bring together a host of new services, offering extended opening hours and a coffee shop to provide a "warm, informal space" for customers.
A spokesman for the Bank of Scotland told Glasgow Live they aim to will offer a customer experience similar to that of 'the Apple Store' in the new-and-improved premises.
Customers can continue to use the bank’s Sauchiehall Street branch which is around a 10 minute walk away.
Tara Foley, Manager Director at Bank of Scotland, said: "New technology is rapidly changing the way many people choose to do their day to day banking. However, support and guidance from our branch colleagues remains crucial for the big or unexpected moments in our customers’ lives, such as buying a home, having children, or dealing with a bereavement.
"That’s why we’re creating a different kind of bank branch. This will offer the services that we know our customers want in a modern and flexible environment, combining the latest in interactive digital technology with the trusted personal service provided by our expert colleagues."
