Easy swap over

5
I changed banks from a not well known local bank to barcleys, I have a few direct debits/standing orders etc and I did expect some disruption but it all went smoothly, cards arrived quickly PIN numbers for online telephone and mobile banking arrived within days, I get text messages when my account is used with an update of my balance so I won't go overdrawn, win win in my case, so much easier and faster than my old bank Reviewed on: 27th December 2016
