The building, constructed at the turn of the last century and occupying a prominent site at the junction of St Vincent Street and Buchanan Street, had previously been home to a number of banks, including the National Commercial Bank of Scotland.
Many of the interior features from its financial past have been retained, including the huge dome, clock, bank safe and massive vault doors.
