Meeting with Barclays should I be worried?

Morning/Afternoon/Evening all,

First time buyer here who has a meeting with Barclay's tomorrow as we were going to take a mortgage out with them. However, should we be worried about today's (20th June '17) news splashed across the BBC? (sorry, can't add links yet as not posted enough)


I'm going to assume since they are all former staff, it won't have any effect at all, but me being me I'm also worried their share prices will drop causing them to up their rates.

Do share your thoughts :)

    I wouldn't expect them to ask you too many questions about it. If they do, just deny any involvement.

    If they have the mortgage you want, go ahead.

    It doesn't work like that.

    You will not be affected.
