Founded in Glasgow in 1838, Clydesdale Bank PLC was one of Scotland's largest and most established banking institutions. For over 180 years, it provided a full range of banking services to personal, private, and business customers across the UK, with a strong presence in Scotland. In 2016, its parent company, CYBG plc (Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank Group), listed on the London Stock Exchange. In 2018, CYBG acquired Virgin Money, and the combined group subsequently decided to rebrand its entire retail and business banking operations, including Clydesdale Bank, under the Virgin Money brand. The rebranding process was completed in 2021, and while Clydesdale Bank PLC still exists as a legal entity within the group, it no longer operates as a public-facing brand.
