Barclays is a British multinational banking and financial services company
headquartered in London. It is a universal bank with operations in retail,
wholesale and investment banking, as well as wealth management, mortgage lending
and credit cards. It has operations in over 50 countries and territories and has
around 48 million customers. Barclays traces its origins back to 1690 when John
Freame and Thomas Gould started trading as goldsmith bankers in Lombard Street,
London. The name "Barclays" became associated with the business in 1736, when
James Barclay, the son-in-law of John Freame, one of the founders, became a
partner in the business. In 1728 the bank moved to 54 Lombard Street, identified
by the 'Sign of the Black Spread Eagle', which in subsequent years would become
a core part of the bank's visual identity.
