Inclusive Bank that allowed me to be banked

5
My Barclays experience comes after HSBC refused to open an account after delaying me for more than three months. As a Non-Resident Student, this left me desperate and feeling really discriminated Until I visited Barclays Bank in Leicester at Haymarket Towers and met with a Ms Shital Pau who really made me to regain lost confidence in UK banking. She was an angel. My account was opened in minutes and 48 hours was able to use my account am greatly grateful to Barclays. Reviewed on: 7th December 2018
