About us

At Barclays, we've forged our reputation on a spirit of innovation. In the UK, we were the first to issue credit cards in the UK, the first to launch ATMs and the first bank to open on Saturdays. We were also the first to offer internet banking to our customers and the first to appoint a female bank manager, way back in 1958.

As our business is constantly evolving, we have to stay one step ahead. We're always looking for ways to better serve our customers. One of the ways in which we want to improve is by making the Barclays' experience more enjoyable by removing the hassle-factor.

By refining our services, we can make it easier for our customers to do the things they want to. This is at the very heart of what Retail Banking at Barclays is all about. Providing a friendly environment in which our personal customers feel special and looked after. To help us achieve our goals, we're looking for talented people who want to grow and who can help us grow too.

We're trailblazing once again with our Retail Development Programme - a fully sponsored three-year degree. No other retail bank runs this kind of programme. It will provide you with all the skills, knowledge and confidence to come up with the innovative ideas that will improve the range of products and services we offer to our 14 million retail customers in the future.
