Tesco Bank employees in Edinburgh face being relocated to Glasgow or Newcastle as part of a major reshuffle.

The bank is also closing its offices at Haymarket Yards and moving staff to its headquarters at South Gyle on the outskirts of the city.

Around 600 staff will be affected by the restructure, which was announced on Wednesday.

Of these, 250 customer service jobs will be transferred to offices in Glasgow and Newcastle.

The firm said it will consult colleagues affected by location move "to support them in the transition".

A Tesco Bank spokesman said:"Earlier this year we started to establish a new business structure to drive greater collaboration across the bank to ensure that we are in the best position possible to serve Tesco customers.

"To further embed this new structure, we have today informed colleagues that all head office functions will be situated at our Edinburgh South Gyle headquarters and that we will close our Edinburgh Haymarket Yards office.

"We are making this move from a position of strength, integrating our Edinburgh colleagues in one location is an exciting new phase of our journey and will support our ambition to build an innovative, progressive and vibrant workplace environment for the bank."
