Mike Amato, Chief Distribution and Product Officer, Barclays UK Retail Banking said: “We’ve listened to what our customers told us and as a result, have made banking with Barclays as easy and enjoyable as possible – and this branch, right here in the heart of Milton Keynes delivers on that goal”.

“The new branch in Milton Keynes embraces innovative technology and design which will enable our customers to bank with us in a way that suits them and in surroundings that are comfortable and accessible for all.”

To celebrate the new branch, Barclays has planned a range of activities to entertain customers including the finals of the ‘Barclays Live in Milton Keynes’ talent show which has been running in conjunction with Heart FM as well as line dancers, face painting, an appearance by classical vocalist Natalie Chua, refreshments and lots more.

Customers are welcome to come and have their photograph taken with the Barclays Premier League trophy which will also be on display on the day.

Julia Waite, Branch Manager for Milton Keynes said: “The move has been well worth the wait. The new premises allow us to deliver the great service our customers expect and the investment in the new premises confirms our commitment to Milton Keynes and the surrounding region.”
