 About Barclays Bank

Barclays Bank PLC has arrived in Pakistan. With our 300 years of
heritage and state-of-the-art banking services we are ready to
Reinvent Banking in Pakistan. With our dedicated banking services we
have touched 38 million hearts in 60 countries across the globe and
now look forward to serve Pakistan with the same enthusiasm and
dedication. There are 15 branches of Barclays in Pakistan.

The start of Barclays Bank showcases roots firmly planted in London

during the 17th century. The development as a reputable business
would later turn the bank into one of the leading financial institutions
in the world. Situated on Lombard Street in London, Goldsmith bankers
named John Freame and Thomas Gould started their professions in
1690. In 1728, the two moved to 54 Lombard Street, later bringing in
James Barclays (Freame’s son-in-law) as a partner in 1736. By 1864, a
new banking house was established on Lombard Street, which would
eventually become Barclays and Company Limited in 1896 with the
help of 19 other private banking businesses. The bank was known for
its strong religious and family ties, as they looked after 182 branches
that took in millions of dollars in deposits.

Rapid expansion soon followed in 1905, as English banks fall prey to

their financial stronghold. Barclays & Co eventually took over
additional banks, such as the United Counties Bank in the Midlands. In
1918, the company boasted 1,837 outlets. The 20th century also
brought many firsts, such as the first computer center for banking
(1961); the first credit card in the United Kingdom (1966); the first
televised credit card advertisements (1972); and becoming the first
British bank to appear on the Tokyo and New York stock exchanges
(1986).

Today, Barclays Bank is known as a strong global presence, as 50% of

its profits come from outside of the United Kingdom. On the home
front, a Barclay’s loan and a Barclays mortgage is highly regarded
because of the many different choices offered to borrowers.
