THE former HMV unit in Oxford is set to become a branch of NatWest Bank.
Plans to refurbish the long-vacant space on Cornmarket to a three-floor bank have been lodged with Oxford City Council.
Two new external cash machines will also be installed as well as automated machines and face-to-face customer counters.
The first and second floors will contain sales space.
NatWest took on the 9,000 sq ft shop in June 2016 on a ten-year lease at a starting rent of £465,000 per year, according to commercial property firm CoStar.
The other half of the former HMV shop has been open as the Leon fast food restaurant since last year.
