Further inquiries by officers with colleagues across Scotland found the pair have been reported in connection with a total of eight incidents at branches in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dalkeith.
The total amount of money lost is estimated to be in the five-figure range between July and September this year.
Police are continuing to investigate, while the pair are due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court on Friday.
DS David Williamson, from North East CID, said: “These arrests highlight the benefits of national cooperation across Police Scotland’s Divisional boundaries to tackle financial crime.
“I would like to thank staff at the relevant bank branches for their assistance with our enquiries.”
