Barclays Bank PLC
# Barclays History
Goldsmith bankers
Barclays origins can be traced back to a modest business founded more than 300 years ago in the heart of London’s financial district.
In the late 17th century, the streets of the City of London may not have been paved with gold, but they were filled with goldsmith-bankers. They provided monarchs and merchants with the money they needed to fund their ventures around the world.
One such business was founded by John Freame and his partner Thomas Gould in Lombard Street in 1690. The name Barclay became associated with the company in 1736, when James Barclay - who had married John Freame’s daughter - became a partner.
A new joint-stock bank
Private banking businesses were commonplace in the 18th century, keeping their clients’ gold deposits secure and lending to credit-worthy merchants. In 1896, 20 of them formed a new joint-stock bank.
The leading partners of the new bank, which was named Barclay and Company, were already connected by a web of family, business and religious relationships. The company became known as the Quaker Bank, because this was the family tradition of the founding families.
Domestic growth
The new bank had 182 branches, mainly in the East and South East, and deposits of £26 million - a substantial sum of money in those days. It expanded its branch network rapidly by taking over other banks, including Bolithos in Cornwall and the South West in 1905 and United Counties Bank in the Midlands in 1916.
In 1918 the company amalgamated with the London, Provincial and South Western Bank to become one of the UK’s ‘big five’ banks. By 1926 the bank had 1,837 outlets.
Barclays acquired Martins Bank in 1969, the largest UK bank to have its head office outside London. And in 2000 it took over The Woolwich, a leading mortgage bank and former building society founded in 1847.
International growth
The development of today’s global business began in earnest in 1925, with the merger of three banks - the Colonial Bank, the Anglo Egyptian Bank and the National Bank of South Africa to form Barclays international operations. This added businesses in much of Africa, the Middle East and the West Indies.
In 1981, Barclays became the first foreign bank to file with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and raise long-term capital on the New York market. In 1986 it became the first British bank to have its shares listed on the Tokyo and New York stock exchanges.
Barclays’ global expansion was given added impetus in 1986 with the creation of an investment banking operation. This has developed into Barclays Capital, a major division of the bank that now manages larger corporate and institutional business.
In 1995 Barclays purchased the fund manager Wells Fargo Nikko Investment Advisers. The business was integrated with BZW Investment Management to form Barclays Global Investors.
Recent Developments
Innovation has proceeded apace. The telephone banking service Barclaycall was introduced in 1994 and on-line PC banking in 1997, whilst customised services have also developed with the introduction of Barclays Private Bank and Premier Banking. In 2001 Barclays formed a strategic alliance with Legal & General to sell life pensions and investment products throughout its UK network. Barclays has recently set itself the goal of becoming ‘the employer of choice’ and has led the way in the implementation of equal opportunities policies.
Today Barclays has grown from a group of English partnerships to a global bank represented in Europe, the USA, Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, the Middle East and Australasia.
