Barclays officially launched its Barclays Local site in Rayleigh.
Located at Rayleigh Library, the Barclays Local provides face to face support for customers, with colleagues on hand on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to offer financial support and education for customers, without the need to travel to a branch.
Barclays is committed to deploying a range of more flexible ways that customers can physically interact with the bank. The bank has opened over 350 Barclays Locals around the country in community locations such as town halls and community centres, where customers can make appointments or walk in to talk to our colleagues. Customers are also supported by a fleet of Barclays vans which travel to more remote areas.
A Barclays Spokesperson said: “We’re pleased to open a Barclays Local here in Rayleigh, working with The Library to offer a new, more flexible way for our colleagues to continue to support customers with their banking needs.”
Rt Hon Mark Francois, MP for Rayleigh and Wickford, said: “Customers visiting the Barclays Local will be able to access a range of in-person support such as help with digital banking, financial reviews, balance checks, transfers and bill payments. As the Barclays Local site is a cashless site, everyday banking transactions will need to be completed at the local Post Office.”
Councillor Mark Durham, Cabinet Member for The Arts, Heritage and Culture at Essex County Council, said: “While modern online banking is amazing, we must not neglect those who are less familiar with the technology required to access it or prefer face-to-face support. I am therefore pleased Barclays has decided to open a Barclays Local at Rayleigh Library. This is a fantastic space where local residents can now manage their money and access financial help without needing to travel to a branch.”
