<![CDATA[Greater London - Islington - Farringdon - Financial and Legal - Banks - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Bring a tent and change of clothes http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/islington/farringdon/banks/barclays-bank-plc-ec1m6pe.html#r1315 'Popped' in to make a minor transfer, spent 20 minutes in the queue to be told I had to see a personal banker, there were 3 people waiting and one personal banker available.

The one person infront of me spent 55 minutes applying for a credit card (being slowly talked through each step) only to be turned down and leave the branch.

Quite frankly spending an hour and a half just to make a very simple transaction at 2pm is just utterly stupid.

Get some more staff. Stop spending an hour with complete time wasters.

it should be noted that this is not the standard among barclays branches, which is normally very high from my experience.
