The first high street bank to launch in over 100 years threw open its doors to customers this morning. Metro Bank has only one branch so far in Holborn, London. But it has big plans to expand, aiming to open 200 branches in the next decade.
Metro Bank hopes to attract customers with longer opening hours, fantastic service and a simple range of products. It's certainly delivering on opening hours - the Holborn branch will be open 8am-8pm on weekdays and will also open on weekends. It aims only to close on four days of the year Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. No Bank Holidays here.
