A DOG-FRIENDLY high street bank has opened a branch in Bromley.

Metro Bank was launched in Bromley High Street today.

It is open seven days a week, 361 days a year, from 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm on Saturdays and 11am to 5pm on Sundays and bank holidays.

Metro’s chief executive officer Craig Donaldson said: “Metro Bank opens when it is convenient for customers, not when it’s convenient for the bank.”

Dogs are welcome and are even given water bowls and dog biscuits.

Bromley will be the seventh Metro Bank to open within a year of its launch.
