barclays beware
HI Guys
Well landed on Monday , and was all good except Barclays , so guys if you bank with Barclays lisen up
Have got money to push throught a money broker to get a good deal , so we kept our money in our account so we could show proof of funds when landed then go on line transfere the money to the broker and him to our RBS account...... HAHAHAHAHAHA ( MANIC LAUGHTER AS I TYPE AWAY)
Baclays have changed their on line secuirty ad you need a pin guard thing , which i do not have or have been issued with , they are sending me one , 7-10 days to my UK address, however the deal with the broker wil run out by then and will have to pay a fine!
so coming back to the uk on friday , kicking off big style in barclays Bolton getting the money transfered , flying back on sunday , so we can hit the broker deadline , and pay the deposit on the rental we have lined up.
so guyss, IF YOU BANK WITH BARCLAYS ,GET A PIN GUARD ETC , OR YOU'LL GET STUFFED LIKE ME !
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh!!
but i love Canada , one final FU from the uk to me , Nice!!

You're original post of a few hours ago was moved from this discussion board (Meet & Greet - you don't get so many folk viewing messages here) to the main forum where it has already had several replies.

Re: barclays beware
We had the same problem as you - set up a currency exchange, meanwhile Nationwide had introduced these card reader thingies, we didn't have one so couldn't complete the transaction online, bank was less than helpful. So, we contacted the currency broker and they seemed to have encountered this problem before, so they changed the forward date of the currency exchange which allowed us to send a UK cheque to them instead - didn't get the money as quick but we got there in the end!

Re: barclays beware
Is this the "Pinsentry" system?
Its like a little calculator you put your Debit Card in to get a specific code.
Could you not offer to pay Barclays to fast ship it to you in Canada instead of having to fly all the way home at your expense just to get it??
Its a bummer for you - because up until 27th you could still of used the online banking system etc without the Pinsentry - they have now made it compulsory.
Sorry you are having such a problem - have you just set up online banking etc with Barclays? If so they should have warned you that you needed it - if not they should have sent you one AGES ago - I've had mine probably a year?
Just so you know - and you can have a go at them about that too!
