Barclays opening time changes
Since 7 August 2023, almost all Barclays branches open at 9.30am and close at 3pm from Monday to Friday. They now close at 1pm on Saturdays. There are a few exceptions for branches in some shopping centres which stay open later in the week.
What to do if your branch is closing
If you use your branch
If you regularly visit your Barclays branch, this is bad news. You can pay in and withdraw money from your local Post Office, which might be enough, though there may be limitations on amounts per day.
Alternatively, you can open up another account at a bank which has a local branch near you, although they may announce their own closures soon enough.
Depending on the new bank you choose, if you also switch (which will close your existing Barclays account), you might be able to nab a switching bonus from the other bank.
Plus all your Direct Debits, standing orders and payments into your account will be moved over for you, so you won’t need to change anything manually.
However, you don’t need to switch to access another branch – you can just open an account with that bank direct.
If you don’t use your branch
The main reason for the closures is that very few Barclays transactions are done in person. So if you do everything online, you’re probably not going to worry about losing access to a branch’s facilities.
In that case, you don’t have to do anything and can keep your Barclays account. If you do, be sure to join the Barclays Blue Rewards scheme to access the Rainy Day saver account.
