Municipal Bank Vault, Birmingham

History

Now owned by Birmingham University and known as The Exchange, the headquarters for Birmingham Municipal Bank was built in 1932/3.

It ceased to be a department of the Council who sold it in 1976, becoming a Trustee Savings Bank. The TSB (later Lloyds TSB) left the building in 2006 selling it back to Birmingham City Council. It has been a Grade II listed building since 1996. The University of Birmingham completed the purchase of the former bank in November 2017.

The Exchange opened to the public in September 2021.
