Retail Banking is all about developing a deep understanding of our customers’ needs and ambitions. Once we understand that, we can dream up just the right products to help them reach their goals. This is where we craft truly connected customer journeys, making it easy for customers to navigate Barclays and ensuring great interactions at every single touchpoint. And it’s where we keep our eyes on the future, shaping what the best customer experiences will look like for years to come.
