Interesting facts about the #BARC (Barclays PLC)
Barclays Plc indeed has a centuries-old history. It originates from John Freame and Thomas Gould, two goldsmiths and bankers who had businesses in London in 1690. The bank got its name from James Barclay, a brother-in-law of Joseph Freame, a son of John Freame. In 1736, he made Mr Barclay a partner, and the name has been the same ever since.
The bank is separated into seven business units: Barclaycard, Barclays Africa, Barclays Global Investors, Barclays Capital, Barclays Private Clients, and the UK. Barclays went public in 1981, converting from a joint-stock bank to a public limited company. In 1985, it changed its name from Barclays Bank Limited to Barclays Plc. Currently, the stocks are listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker "BARC" and on the NYSE as American Depositary Receipts under the ticker symbol "BCS." Barclays is included in many global stock market indices. The most authoritative ones are FTSE 100, FTSE 350 Banks, S&P Global 100, and STOXX 600.

When dealing with BARC shares, you should pay attention to the industrial competition. The bank’s key rivals are HSBC, Bank of America, Banco Santander, BNP Paribas, NatWest Group, UBS, Metro Bank and Citibank. According to Statista, customer satisfaction with the current services was only 65%, as of September 2021. This percentage placed the company far behind smaller challenger banks like Starling and Monzo. In 2021, Barclays lost nearly 3,600 accounts.
