Barclays signature card

Hey,

I've recently opened a Barclays a account, have set the app up which works correctly, have received all the details required such as telephone pin, online pin etc.

I've just realised ive forgot to send a form back to them listed as "specimen signature card" which says it needs a copy of my signature to complete the account opening process so I can make certain types of payments...

Obviously I can send this off asap but I've just initiated a current account switch through the Barclays app... Is this lack of signature likely to cause a problem?

Regards

    Definitely send off the completed form when you can, but off the record? I wouldn't panic.

    I'd just send it back.

    The main things it's used for are cheques, and authenticating your signature if you ever have to send them a letter for any reason. It doesn't hurt to return it at all and can only really benefit you.
