Danske Bank Announces New Branch Investment In Coleraine

Danske Bank has revealed plans to move its Coleraine branch and business centre to a new location on The Diamond.

Fit out work on the new branch is set to begin soon, with completion expected by early 2026. The existing branch will remain open for customers until the move.

At Explore Causeway Coast and Glens, we exclusively revealed this news in recent weeks, keeping our community ahead with the latest updates on this significant development for the town centre.

Branch Manager Shauna Eakin said customers will experience a modern new branch:

“My team and I look forward to welcoming our personal and business customers to our new branch later this year. Customers will still see the same friendly faces they know, and the branch will have a welcoming and modern design, along with a range of convenient self-service options.  Of course, when a customer does want to speak to a member of the team, they will be able to do so.  We’ll share more details closer to the move but in the meantime, we’re very much still here for customers in our usual location.”

Aisling Press, Managing Director of Personal Banking at Danske Bank, added:

“With our current lease coming to an end, it was a great opportunity to plan for the future and create a new space that meets both current and future needs.  This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to customers in Coleraine, delivering a fresh banking experience, enhanced services and improved facilities for customers and colleagues alike.

“While many customers now prefer online banking, branches remain an important part of how we serve our customers.  It’s about ensuring customers receive the best possible service however they choose to do their banking.”

Glyn Roberts, Chief Executive of Retail NI welcomed the development, saying:

“Like much of the retail landscape, banking has changed, with many consumers and businesses preferring the convenience of digital banking. However, it is also clear that many of our members and their customers still value having the option of local branch banking. We very much welcome Danske Bank’s ongoing commitment to Coleraine.”

•  The new branch will be located at 33, The Diamond.
