Barclays

Barclays PLC provides banking and investment management services to over 20 million people in more than 60 countries. But despite our success, we're not about to start resting on our laurels. In fact there are more than 110,000 of us around the globe working to make Barclays one of the top five financial institutions in the world. And with pre-tax profits of more than £2.5 billion, we're well on the way to achieving that goal.

But truth be told, we want to be recognised for more than our great customer relationships, our innovative products or even our contributions to the wider community. We're equally focused on the quality of support we provide as an employer, and on helping our own people to be the best they can be. That's why when it comes to pursuing a challenging and rewarding career, there's no better place to be.
With over 300 years of history and expertise in banking, Barclays PLC has six major divisions:
  • UK Banking, delivers banking products and services to over 14 million personal customers and 745,000 businesses.
  • Barclaycard was the UK's first credit card back in 1966, and has now grown to become one of the leading credit card businesses in Europe with 11.2 million retail customers and 3.7 million cards issued internationally. Barclaycard now incorporates all of the Group's UK secured and card lending products and expertise.
  • International Retail and Commercial Banking is the global retail and commercial banking operation. With 2.2 million international clients in the Caribbean, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Africa, it provides a range of banking services, including current accounts, savings, investments, mortgages and loans, as well as services to corporate customers.
  • Our Wealth Management division serves affluent, high net worth and corporate clients, primarily in the UK and continental Europe, providing private banking, offshore banking, stockbroking, financial planning and asset management services.
  • Barclays Global Investors, one of the world's largest asset managers and a leading provider of investment management products and services. It has over 2,700 institutional clients and over £780 billion of assets under management.
  • Barclays Capital, the investment banking division, provides large corporate, institutional and government clients with solutions to their financing and risk management needs. Headquartered in London, it employs over 8,300 staff in 22 locations around the world, with its main offices in London and New York.

Wherever you join us, rest assured, your efforts will never go unnoticed. As a business, we value the contribution of all our people. Our generous salaries and award-winning benefits programme go some way to proving this, but that's not all we have to offer.
