the new branch in Birmingham is now open.
I have been in to check their rates, but nothing appealing, and no incentives for moving accounts to them.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the
back to the future face to face service and a seven day access that fit with peoples busy lives. The in branch storage boxes are a great idea as well...

are they reasonable money Boro?
and yes, i'm up for the service, but really want some kind of incentive to transfer 4/5/6 accounts to them.

Not the best rates in the world, but not the worst either; but you are missing the point: you can't pay enough for good service. Try calling Amazon, British Gas etc. if you want to see what the opposite of good service is!

Up to you if you want to change; on that basis the only advantage is I think you will find the Metro Bank branches are open longer and more days a week...

that sounds good.. for my Halifax/M&S/TSB accounts when there is an incentive to get me across.
HSBC/Lloyds/RBS/Nationwide i plan to keep open alongside.

Still doing well for themselves.
With the problem chairman removed and reasonable growth this may be an opportunity for a speculative share purchase as their price may have fallen more than justified; it my be that they are being dragged down with the general market turmoil. They may now be attract as a take over target or it may be worthwhile to jump on board before any possible turn around - I know I personally have made money on purchases in the past under similar circumstances... worth a ponder at least!

I can't remember the last time I went into a bank branch. And I can't imagine the next time I'll need to. So I just can't see this company being anything other than toast, long term.
