    Reasons-For-Closure-Weybridge

    This branch is closing – but we're still here to help Our Weybridge branch is closing on Friday 18 June 2021 Reasons for closure, and alternative ways to bank. This branch is closing – but your bank is always open This first booklet will help you understand why we’ve made the decision to close this branch. It also sets out the banking services and support that will be available to you after this branch has closed. In a second booklet, which will be available from the branch prior to it closing or online at home.barclays/ukbranchclosures, we'll share concerns and feedback from the local community. We'll also detail how we are helping people transition from using the branch with alternative ways to carry out their banking requirements. Here are the main reasons why the Weybridge branch is closing: • The number of counter transactions has gone down in the previous 24 months, and additionally 89% of our branch customers also use other ways to do their banking such as online and by telephone • Cust omers using other ways to do their banking has increased by 10% since 2015 • In the past 12 months, 38% of this branch's customers have been using nearby branches • We’ve identified that only 27 customers use this branch exclusively for their banking Proposals to close any branch are made by the Barclays local leadership teams and verified at a national level ahead of any closure announcement. If you have any questions and concerns about these changes then please feel free to get in touch over the phone on 0345 7 345 345², with Graham Pannett, your Market Director for West London.

One of the many therapies we offer is counselling... Life is not always straight forward – sometimes events unsettle us and leave us facing difficult circumstances, sometimes we experience periods of depression, anxiety or grief and struggle with self doubt or low self esteem. At times like these, counselling offers you the opportunity to talk in confidence to a trained professional who can help you to understand better the issues you are facing and provide support when difficult emotions are stirred up. Counselling is about empowering you to improve your quality of life - whatever your circumstances.
