VIRGIN MONEY INVESTS IN NEW FLAGSHIP STORE IN SCOTLAND’S CAPITAL
- New store first of its kind in Scotland
- 55 Clydesdale Bank branches will rebrand to Virgin Money Stores
- Entire nationwide network of stores will operate under the new Virgin Money brand by spring 2021
Virgin Money has opened its state-of-the-art flagship Store in Edinburgh as part of its UK wide store rebrand programme.
The new flagship store located at 83 George Street, is the latest example of Virgin Money’s innovative approach to what a bank branch can offer. Once Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted, customers will be able to experience the full range of the new store’s features, including a space for entrepreneurs to co-work and create, a venue for events and much more as Virgin Money invests in UK high streets as part of its nation-wide rebrand.
The multi-million-pound rebranding of its national network of Clydesdale Bank, Yorkshire Bank and Virgin Money sites to the new Virgin Money branding will be completed by spring 2021, bringing all stores under a single brand.
Each rebranded store will offer full banking services to all 6.6 million customers in the Virgin Money Group, vastly increasing the network of available stores to existing Clydesdale Bank, Yorkshire Bank and Virgin Money customers. Over the coming months customers will also begin to see credit cards, banking apps and account statements change to Virgin Money as part of its wider rebrand activity.
Customers will continue to benefit from the same friendly and knowledgeable teams, providing excellent customer service and access to a wide range of Virgin Money products and services from current account to mortgages and credit cards. Customers will also have access to exclusive products and services from the wider Virgin Group of businesses.
Paul Titterton, Head of Personal Distribution at Virgin Money said: “These are exciting times for Virgin Money as we invest in our stores and move to a single brand for all customers.
“The new George Street store brings together the very best of digital banking with a unique offering on the high street. It’s a new chapter for our history, and our new approach to stores proves that a bank branch can be a buzzing creative space where businesses and people can come together.
“We can’t wait for the Covid restrictions to lift so customers can enjoy the full Virgin experience in our new Edinburgh store.”
As part of the programme 55 Clydesdale Bank branches will be rebranded to Virgin Money Stores across Scotland.
Virgin Money are in communication with its customers in advance of their own branch being rebranded to let them know about when they can expect the changes to be made.
