barclays bank. fluent in the world of finance. well it is!. have you every seen the barclays egal? it represents the power it holds. barclays bank is a very good bank. they offer good services and products.

i first opened the barclay plus account wen i was 13. they was very friendly and i went to the branch my self where they helped me fill in the form. they even offerd me a visa electron card to pay for things. although it is not taken every where it is still taken at all the shops i have been to. and has been really useful. i can get up to £50 cash back for free and does not let me over spend.barclays have many products and services that will come in to use one day for me. they offer:
  • credit cards
  • loans
  • savings and investments
  • insurance

barclays also own the woolwhich so you can use their services as well.there are many banks but not as good as barclays. just remember that powerful egal.

unfortutaly Barclays don't seem to be particually fluent in the USA - they are also pretty hopeless when it comes to clearing of bankers draft. My best mate has just had huge hassels with them (incuding a aurgument with the branch manager). Fortunatly, she was wrong and my mate was right and begruginly got a sort of appology "there was obviously a gap in my knowlegde" the manager said. Personally I'm with first direct and wouldn't change for the world
