“I worked in a high street bank before this service started and moving your bank account was nearly as stressful as moving house. The current account switching service is guaranteed to alleviate any worries you may have. “Of course, with cost-of-living rises continuing to put pressure on many households it’s more important than ever that people assess whether their existing current account is best suited to their needs. I still think there could be some room for improvements around how overdrafts are dealt with but overall it works well in my opinion.” Lloyds Bank lost 2,677 customers and and TSB, shed 13,911 current account customers. He said: “People are likely to still be put off by the myth that it’s difficult and time-consuming and you’ll miss direct debits and get bounced Direct Debits, which costs money but this is fake news.

The return of capital would have been worth £1 billion to long suffering shareholders. Richard Hunter at interactive investor said: “On the whole Barclays has had a strong start to the year, although the fine relating to over-issuance of securities in the US has punched something of a hole in profits.” Since then, things have hardly improved for the bank.

However, despite all their hard work, Barclays' fixed income traders didn't have much impact on the bottom line of the corporate and investment bank, where ...

At 57% in Q1, the cost income ratio in the investment bank was still below the bank's 60% target, and at 17.1% the return on tangible equity was well above the cost of capital. This was 26% higher than in the first quarter of 2021, which was itself an excellent quarter for Barclays' traders. Announcing its results today, Barclays said its traders earned revenues of £2.6bn in the first three months of the year.

Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays Bank”) announced today that it has suspended, until further notice, any further sales by Barclays Bank and its affiliates.

You may only redeem your ETNs on a redemption date if we receive a notice of redemption from you by certain dates and times as set forth in the pricing supplement. In addition, if Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the ETNs. The ETNs may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any brokerage account. Uncertain Tax Treatment: Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the ETNs are uncertain. Additionally, if the level of the underlying index or the VWAP level, is insufficient to offset the negative effect of the investor fee and other applicable costs, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity or upon redemption, even if the value of such index or the VWAP level has increased or decreased, as the case may be. In particular, paying a premium purchase price over the indicative value of the ETNs could lead to significant losses in the event an investor sells ETNs at a time when such premium is no longer present in the marketplace or if Barclays Bank redeems the ETNs at its discretion. Because the registration statement and prospectus under which Barclays Bank makes sales of each series of ETNs incorporates by reference the Form 20‑F, Barclays Bank and its affiliates cannot continue to make sales under such registration statement and prospectus until the restatement is completed and Barclays Bank files an amended Form 20-F and a new shelf registration statement. The market value of the ETNs may be influenced by, among other things, the levels of supply and demand for such ETNs. It is possible that this suspension of sales may influence the market value of the ETNs. Barclays Bank believes that the above-mentioned limitations on sales may cause an imbalance of supply and demand in the secondary market for the ETNs, which may cause the ETNs to trade at a premium or discount in relation to their indicative value. The ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and do not benefit from any principal protection. An investment in the ETNs described herein involves risks. As described below, this suspension may cause fluctuations in the trading value of such ETNs. Daily redemptions at the option of holders of the ETNs will not be affected by this suspension. Barclays Bank expects to reopen sales of the ETNs when the amended Form 20-F and new shelf registration statement have been filed with the SEC and will make a further public announcement when this action is taken.

The lender posted pre-tax profits of £2.2 billion for the first three months of 2022, down from £2.4 billion a year ago.

Mr Venkatakrishnan, known as Venkat, said: “We remain focused on the impact higher prices are having on our customers and our small business and corporate clients, all of whom are facing far harder conditions this year as a result of inflation, supply chain issues and higher energy costs. Costs in the quarter jumped to £4.1 billion from £3.6 billion a year ago as it put by around £500 million following regulatory probes, most recently having admitted to selling more products to investors in the US than it was allowed to. The error – which saw it sell more structured notes than it was allowed to under US rules – is being scrutinised by regulators and is likely to land Barclays with a fine, while it has also seen the bank push back a £1 billion capital return to shareholders.

Barclays Plc said it has suspended sales of another 30 exchange-traded notes until it is able to fix a paperwork issue with U.S. regulators.

The London-based lender said sales of affected products under the iPath brand will be halted from Thursday until further notice.

"Barclays Bank PLC has elected to make a rescission offer to certain purchasers of the affected securities issued in excess of the registered amount, which is expected to commence during the second quarter of 2022.

As detailed in its Q1 2022 results announcement, Barclays determined that it had issued securities in excess of the amount registered under the Barcla.

Barclays Bank PLC is preparing an amendment to its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the BBPLC 2021 Form 20-F) to include its restated 2021 financial statements and to reflect the change in management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.
