Metro Bank is set to create 500 new jobs as it extends operations beyond London as part of its plan to open 110 branches by 2020. Many of those people are likely to have been drawn in by its proposition of seven-day-a-week store opening - maybe even a pooch-friendly policy that includes free water and dog biscuits. Metro Bank, launched in 2010 and the first UK bank to be created in more than 150 years, currently has 48 offices in the South East and 900,000 customers. The move comes after a review into Metro’s business model which saw the company focus on growing customer numbers rather than increasing profits.
