hboy Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Ancilliary services to what? If you walk into, say, Barclays here you will find they offer the same retail services as they offer in their Liverpool, London etc branches . Basically you are wrong when you say "they don't even offer services to locals " (who use those retail services). But hey I'm not into petty point scoring so your mistake does not really matter. Do you? Maybe you should look at their website more. How many deals are not available to "residents of the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man" The rate I get on my mortgage here is shite compared to the terms the same bank offers through its UK branches. Maybe you should read more? Point scoring on an internet message board. Surely nobody would try such a thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original statement that banks did not offer services to locals was patently untrue.. The fact that certain deals are not available to residents of the CI or Isle of Man are usually as a result of regulatory issues which the banks must adhere to rather than a desire by the banks to alienate potential customers .

Anyway I'm not point scoring, just helping you understand things with facts of which you seem to be unaware. We all get it wrong sometimes. However I won't expect any gratitude.
