The thief then made his getaway in the cab with thousands of pounds stuffed in a Tesco bag.
Police said no weapon was used in yesterday’s raid on a branch of RBS .
And they do not believe the driver knew anything about the robbery.
Detective Inspector Rory Hamilton said: “It would not be unusual for a taxi to be asked to wait outside a bank.
"But we now need the driver to get in touch with us.”
Police hope to find CCTV images that will identify the beanie-hatted, 6ft 4in robber who held up the bank in Edinburgh.
