It comes after the HSBC on Fargate closed earlier this month.

Robert Halliday, HSBC UK’s local director, said: "The bank’s connections to Sheffield go back almost 150 years, so I am extremely proud of this multi-million pound investment in our new branch, which brings state-of-the-art, sustainable design, technology and accessibility to our customers in this city."

The new branch has wide doorways, mobility scooter parking, braille signage and handrails, quiet zones and a sensory room, he added.

It also has 'safe space' for anyone in immediate to reach out to friends and family, contact specialist support services or phone a helpline.
