Stop Barclays closing expat accounts

Closed 562 signatures

What the petition asks

Barclays have sent a letter to expats saying they will close your account unless you 100k on dept. 6 weeks notice and many, like myself only have a Barclays account and have done for years. We have no way of opening a new uk account without uk permanent address.
1000s are effected and no where to pay uk pensions too.
