History

Barclays is currently the fourth largest retail and business bank in the United Kingdom. It is also one

of the top ten largest financial banks in the world. The bank has been banking for more than three

hundred years ago, in the city of London. In 1690, the bank was established by John Freame and his

associate, Thomas Gould, in Lombard Street. In 1736, the business was renamed as 'Barclays' when,

James Barclays (who had married to John Freame's only daughter) became a business partner. The

bank was involved in protecting their customer's (goldsmith bankers) gold deposits, and loaning

money to worthy monarchs and merchants

Barclaycard, the first credit card in the UK, was launched in 1966 and in 1967 Barclays

unveiled the world's first ATM cash machine at Enfield, north London. British actor Reg

Varney was the first one to use the ATM.

In 1969 the planned merger with Martins Bank and Lloyds Bank was blocked by the Mergers

and Monopolies Commission but the acquisition of Martins Bank on its own was allowed.
