Hampden Bank is the new name of Hampden & Co, the private Edinburgh bank which has also relocated to a neighbouring office in Charlotte Square.

The rebrand and move from its home since 2015, to a newly developed double-townhouse, marks a new start for the business under Tracey Davidson, who took over as CEO last autumn.

She said: “Our growth over the last 10 years has led to a need for larger offices. The move across Edinburgh’s Charlotte Square to beautifully renovated buildings provides collaborative and communal spaces for colleagues and room for further growth.

“We will also relocate our London office later in the year. Both new offices have spectacular entertainment spaces and we look forward to welcoming our many clients, shareholders and professional partners.”

Described by developer The Charlotte Square Collection as “a pinnacle of contemporary design in a heritage setting”, the new Edinburgh office includes an auditorium at the rear where the bank will host events.

On the change of name to Hampden Bank, Ms Davidson added: “The update to our name reflects our identity and vision for the bank.”

Ms Davidson succeeded Graeme Hartop who retired in the autumn after 11 years in the role. She joined from Handelsbanken UK where she was deputy CEO and was previously at Barclays where she expanded UK banking operations.

She was also chair of Handelsbanken Wealth & Asset Management and a board member of the Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association (PIMFA), which has prompted speculation that Hampden will expand into these sectors.

In its recent full-year 2023 annual results, Hampden & Co announced that client numbers had increased by almost a fifth to a new high of 5,598. To meet demand from clients for a personalised banking service, the bank said it has grown the number of employees by 23% to 154.
