Barclays Bank is not just a financial institution; it’s a testament to the power of innovation, resilience, and forward-thinking in the global banking landscape. Founded in 1690 as a modest goldsmith banking business in London, it has grown into one of the world’s leading financial giants, serving millions of customers in over 40 countries. Its legacy spans more than three centuries, a period during which it has consistently pioneered industry-defining innovations.

Barclays’ revolutionary introduction of the world’s first Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in 1967, and its leadership in digital banking, illustrate the bank’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of possibility. Today, Barclays continues to be a leader in sustainable finance, with a strong focus on supporting a low-carbon economy. By driving initiatives that align financial growth with environmental responsibility, Barclays is playing a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable future.

Barclays’ ethos of innovation extends beyond technology to social responsibility. The bank has embraced key values of diversity, inclusion, and community impact, making a difference not only in financial markets but also in people’s lives. Through programs that focus on financial literacy, business growth for underrepresented entrepreneurs, and philanthropy, Barclays demonstrates how banking can be a force for good.
