The Bank of Scotland is the oldest Scottish bank and one of the most enduring in the UK, with more than 290 branches across the UK, as well as vans, which operate as mobile branches. Over the years, Bank of Scotland has been an innovator, most recently establishing “Digizones” in branches where staff help members of the community improve their digital skills and introducing a virtual assistant on its mobile app that uses artificial intelligence to quickly answer queries and solve common problems such as payment queries and lost cards.
