Though you couldn't blame Barclays for that.

Or if anyone did, they'd look a bit silly.

There was last time I went there : Isle of Man Government - Health and Social Care
Outside Surrey, lots of places have publicly funded healthcare...

Not to the UK NHS though, which you are entitled to by being a UK resident, unless you are excluded because your resident status isn't up to scratch https://www.gov.uk/guidance/nhs-entitlements-migrant-health-guide

You wouldn't expect to be entitled to a country's heath service just because you are/were entitled to the UK's (Scots', Welsh, NI's) health service - - -  but as I said before, health service entitlement is nothing to do with people's bank accounts.

The Isle of Man Health Service is the Isle of Man's own national health service, which provides free care for IoM residents, and pays for their care in the UK if they are referred there for specialist treatment.

Isle of Man residents visiting the UK also get free NHS treatment, and UK residents get free IoMHS treatment in the Isle of Man, under the Reciprocal Healthcare Agreement.

....meanwhile, if @IanManc relocated to the Isle of Man, would he be forced to become IanManx?

I had an IOM account a while ago but it was closed due to recent money laundering rules. When you arrive, pop into a branch with ID, proof of address, etc. and you should be able to open an account without any problems.

Even though the IOM banks use similar names to UK banks, they are separate companies and they operate under different rules.

There is no UK NHS - it's four different systems depending on your residency.
In that sense, the IOM system is the same and even uses NHS England services on occasion.
