Moving to Barclays

Moving to Corporate Banking at Barclays

We recognise the importance of the decision to move your business to a new bank. You’ll want to be confident that they’ll understand your business and your market, have the solutions and services to help you achieve growth and work closely with you as a financial partner through both opportunities and challenges.

At Barclays, we strongly believe we can offer your business all this and more. Our current clients believe so too – thanks to them, we recently ranked higher than any other bank for overall client satisfaction, advocacy and loyalty.1


Over 1,600 businesses moved to Barclays in the past 12 months2

At a Corporate level, moving banks can mean needing to explain the history and future aims of your business all over again. That’s why we provide you with a dedicated Relationship Director from the outset to learn the characteristics of your business and inform our recommendations.

They’ll act as your single point of contact, which means you’ll only need to provide the knowledge of your business to one person, one time. And through your Relationship Director you’ll be able to access all that we offer from across Barclays.

This is just one of the reasons why over 1,300 businesses moved to Barclays in the past 12 months.2

A simple switching process

At a practical level, moving to a new bank also means the opening of accounts and the move of a number of transactional activities, the transition of which needs to be prompt and seamless.

Your business will benefit from our dedicated Switching Team, whose focus will be on ensuring the transition to Barclays goes smoothly. They’ll be on hand to support your business through every step of the process.
