Founded by an Act of the Scottish Parliament in 1695, Bank of Scotland is Scotland's oldest surviving and first bank. With a history of innovation, including being the first bank in Europe to print its own banknotes, it has grown into a major financial institution. Today, as part of the Lloyds Banking Group, Bank of Scotland provides comprehensive banking services across the United Kingdom, including current accounts, savings, mortgages, loans, credit cards, and insurance. The bank is committed to supporting its customers and contributing to the prosperity of the communities it serves.
