Barclays Bank have recently decided to withdraw the
accounts it holds for UK money-transfer firms, something which will negatively affect
thousands of people and businesses across the UK. The decision will also impact
the wider international community, because this vital function allows
money-transfer firms to send remittances from the UK to the places like the
Indian subcontinent and Africa. According to the World Bank, recorded
remittances from the UK totalled a $3.2billion in 2011.
We urgeBarclays Bank to reconsider this decision
immediately given the damage it will cause to the struggling UK economy, the
developing world and to local businesses and jobs across the UK.
I would like to use my debit card at Barclays Bank to pay my remittances every time because of the withdrawal limits cash each day. In case of emergency I cant withdraw more than the limit.
