Barclays originated as a goldsmith banking business in which James Barclay became a partner in 1736. In 1896, several English banks merged under the name Barclays and Co. Since then, the bank has expanded across the UK and internationally, acquiring several other corporations including Provincial and South Western Bank, Mercantile Credit, Woolwich and the North American operations of Lehman Brothers following the 2008 crash.
Barclays now has nearly 5,000 branches in 55 countries, including 1600 branches in the United Kingdom. Barclays customers in the UK can also access some services via the Post Office.
Barclays Bank operates across four core divisions: personal banking, wealth management, corporate banking and investment management. These divisions are organised into two large clusters – corporate and investment banking and wealth and investment management, and the retail and business banking arm.
The first cluster includes the following services:
The second cluster, retail and business banking, covers Barclaycard, Europe Retail and Business Banking, Africa Retail and Business Banking and UK Retail and Business Banking.
Personal banking customers can choose from a comprehensive portfolio of services, including loans and mortgages, current accounts, savings accounts, ISAs, insurance, overdrafts and credit cards. Barclays Premier banking is available to customers with a minimum of £100,000 in savings or investments or an annual gross income of £75,000 paid into their Barclays account.
Barclays has several independent security certifications, including a Kitemark for Secure Digital Transactions, the Cyber Essentials Scheme and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification.

Using this scumbags last 14 years. I can only say this bank is stealing your money.. if you buy anything from other countries online they put very high fees without letting you know. I bought holiday payed £1492, after payment I seen bank taking £1543 . Disappointed and can't wait to switch my account to another bank..
When you've been with a bank for 30 years as a Premier customer and for the first time, you use your overdraft and find that as a result of using it (because quite obviously you need it) it's been reduced and no matter your track record of millions of pounds going through your account over the years, you don't fit the current algorithm and there is no appeal, it's clear it's not a good bank to be with. My advice, DO NOT BANK WITH BARCLAYS

Absolute shambles of a bank. They closed my account yesterday with money inside for no damn reason. Went to the bank today, waited almost two hrs, and they wouldn't give me a reason. Good riddance. Onto bigger and better banks.
