Last two branches of Britain’s only independent savings bank have closed
THE last two branches of Britain’s only independent savings bank have closed their doors for the last time.
Airdrie Savings Bank announced in January it was preparing to end all business activities.
The Bellshill and Coatbridge branches closed yesterday and the bank will stop operating its current accounts.
The Airdrie HQ will be staffed until September to advise savers who have not already moved their money.
At its peak, there were eight branches of the bank across North Lanarkshire.
