The problem with Barclays is that it is a 'remote' bank, in that it is difficult to find a human being to speak to about money matters. This is particularly so where you need bank references for open other accounts etc. This can take months.

What can I say about Barclays Bank? They are impossible to contact from abroad. They do not provide bank references. They return my wire transfers for no reason leaving me with no money in my account to pay my mortgage. Everything is 'centralised' so discussion with the local bank manager is a thing of the past. Dreadful.
