Dunfermline has received a jobs boost with news that Nationwide will be creating 80 jobs in the town.
The Fife jobs are part of 200 new posts created this year as part of the roll-out of Nationwide NOW, a high-definition video link service that connects customers in branches to financial consultants based elsewhere.
The service is in 61 branches across the UK and is due to expand to up to 400 branches by November.
Nationwide is now looking for staff 80 at Caledonia House in Dunfermline along with 100 in Bournemouth and 20 in Northampton.
The firm’s divisional director of central distribution, Mark Goldman, said: “Nationwide NOW is going from strength to strength and as we roll it out to more branches, we will be recruiting more people to meet the demand.
“Nationwide NOW has been so well received we’ll be increasing the range of services, meaning branches will be able to offer more to our customers.
“These are exciting times and we’re urging people who think they have what it takes to join us as we continue to focus on using digital to make customers’ lives easier and to increase access to our advisers.”
Local MP Thomas Docherty said: “This is a fantastic boost for west Fife and Nationwide’s continued investment in the local economy is a sign that Fife continues to be somewhere that is attractive to businesses looking to grow.”
