Probably, the best deal on offer from Barclays right now is
their excellent insurance cover. Under their "Home Insurance
Price Beater Challenge", they are offering to beat your current home
insurance premium by £100. Otherwise, they'll give you
£50. Not only do you get a trusted leader in banking
products underwriting your home cover, but you also get £50 in
your pocket! Beat that!!!
Savings /Current Accounts Review
I've been a customer of Barlcays for over a decade and I haven't seen a
deal as good as this. Basically, if you sign up to online banking
or are already an online banking customer, you could be eligible for a FREE 24-month subscription to
antivirus software, which I think is about a £40 value! As
you probably use the Internet to transmit sensitive information, having
top-quality, up-to-date antivirus software, is critical. If
you're already an online banking customer, you should hear from
Barclays shortly about obtaining the software.
Also, if
you login to online banking from the bank's homepage, there is
currently a link for a competition to win an ipod and Bose
sounddock. Don't miss out on this excellent competition!
Mortgages Review Barclays offers mortgage products by
the Woolwich, who won Your Money
Direct Awards in 2006. This is no small feat!
Of special note, is Barclays' 10-year
fixed mortgage at 4.98%. There is a low application fee of
£595 and Barclays will consider mortgage requests up to 80% of
the value of your home. As all the interest-rate pundits are
forecasting rates rising to 5.25% or so by the end of 2006, why not
lock in a great rate and reduce your stress levels
Credit Cards Review
Right now, in my opinion, the best Barclaycard on offer is the
Barclaycard Platinum. It features 0% interest on balance
transfers for 12 months (though make sure you note the 2.5% handling
fee). Also, it has 0% interest on purchases for three months,
which gives you some time to save up. The best part about this
card is the 0% balance transfer. If you are currently paying any
interest on your balance on a different card, it makes sense to
transfer it to the Barclaycard.
