The Travel Card to use in ATM's abroad

5
The Barclaycard Platinum travel card has no fees on spending or cash withdrawals overseas until 31 August 2022. DON'T USE IN UK ATM. If you pay off your balance in full each month, you won't be charged interest on overseas cash you withdraw, unlike most cards which charge daily interest on cash until it’s paid off.

Credit card balance transfer

5
As a long standing customer of Barclays I was offered 'beat the market' rates on my balance transfer credit card. The process was super easy, I always use MSE to compare sites but Barclays online log in pre-approves you so it was super easy to apply straight from there. Easy to use app also.
