Barclays brings you...
The focus here is on building, developing and managing genuine and lasting relationships with commercial customers in the UK , Europe and the USA . These customers are served by a network of Relationship and Specialist Managers who provide information, support and business solutions; while the range of services includes the investment of funds, the collection of payments and the raising of capital.
Business Banking specialises in the following markets:
Larger Business
Larger Business customers normally have their own Financial Controller or Director, and usually need a more comprehensive range of products and services. The complex nature of their business may require support from the Specialist Sales Teams; for example, the customer may be a multinational company operating in several countries.
As many Larger Business clients are parented, operating or trading outside the UK , Business Banking has dedicated relationship teams in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and New York.
