Our Club opened a Barclays Community Account about three years ago, no interest but we have debit cards, making purchases easier.
It took a while to set up as the local branch has to refer back to the main in Leicester, same when we changed Treasurers last year, could fill all forms in at local branch, but it then had to be sent over to Leicester for approval, Not had any problems and the telephone helpline was very good when l used it.
