Cash Card Account – what you get:
Choice of Connect card or cash card
Withdraw up to £300 a day at Barclays cash machines or at post offices (subject to available funds)
Transfer money to other Barclays accounts by phone 24 hours a day
Online Banking - do your banking from home (subject to registration)
Make payments from your account by Direct Debit or standing order*
Get mini statements from cash machines and full monthly statements
If you need an account with an overdraft, try a Barclays Bank Account
A Welcome pack to help with day to day banking

t could be right for you if:
• You want to keep a tight control
on your money.
• You want a Connect card to pay
for goods and services at home and abroad.

You got a job at Barclays Max ????:rotfl::rotfl: great advert!!....can`t see them giving out `connect` cards freely with a cashcard account though!!! ...we are talking Barclays (decline everything usually ) you know!!:D

I opened a Co-op account on the day of my BR. I opened mine a few months before BR - it was painless and got my pin number and card within 2 working days.

I can say (like others) how wonderful they are!!

Halifax closed my account from the London Gazette notice before OR made contact! Mine too! I went BR on a Friday and by Monday morning the letter came through the post from Halifax! They are soooo efficient!

I couldn't go with Barclays as they were one of my creditors as took over Woolwich! I've heard they are very forgiving and will give a BR an account even if they were a creditor.
Barclays were the worse ringing me daily before BR!!!! Me too - they phoned me every morning at 8:30. You gotta give them an A for effort. Day in and day out for nearly a year they phoned me and I never picked it up, I had over 200 missed calls from their number!

I do like my Coop account and have had no trouble with it but I may try and open a Barclays account for the connect card. I've heard that electron cards are being phased out however I did hear this some time ago and nothing has happened yet.
