A lack of staff, ATM's and banking machines and a pretty old-fashioned feel of the store which is pretty small do counter into that, while also including the horrible opening hours where they not only open slightly later than average at 9:30 but they also close at 5 which is again slightly earlier than other banks, which is again frustrating to considering it isn't open on weekends. Not only was the store understaffed with little room for more staff at the counter, but service also seemed to move really slow and unlike other stores, there wasn't a separate and quicker queue to get pointed in the right direction perhaps with just a simple issue or query. 1*

One of three branches in the city centre, this is probably my favourite out of the three (Given the…read morequality of Barclays' branches overall that doesn't say much). The location on Mosley Street is in between Piccadilly Gardens and St Peter's Square. The bank is open between 9:30 am and 4:30 pm weekdays, opening half an hour later on Wednesday's. I do find it frustrating that they close their counter service an hour early, and do not open at all on weekends, as the opening hours generally see them close earlier than most banks around the city centre anyway. Despite claiming to have indoor ATM's online, they do NOT. They do have some banking machines in branch, where you can withdraw cash, but these are different machines to ATM's, as a friendly employee explained to me. As someone who hates using outdoor ATM's, this is a deal-breaker for me. 3* - Basic bank, reasonable location yet still leaving me regretful of joining Barclays in the first place.

Metro Bank launched in 2010, at the time of launch they were the first high street bank to open a…read moretangible bricks and mortar branch in over 150 years, this location in Manchester was met with huge excitement when opening in 2019, mainly down to the fact this was Metro Bank's first location up North. In terms of appearance, the bank does look good, from the exterior, it is bright, modern and looks more like a casino or office building rather than a bank. Like most banks in the city, it is located on Market Street, you enter the branch through the street, however, it does make up a part of the Manchester Arndale. The bank claims they are service focused and like dealing with customers face-to-face, the biggest problem with this is that there are no in-store ATM's, this means you have to queue to do the most basic of activities such as paying in money into your account. Two machines allow you to withdraw money only, they are located just outside the branch inside the Manchester Arndale, but in terms of in-store machines, there is nothing. It can take a while to get served, they seem to always have lots of staff members around the bank, but half of them just seem to be doing nothing, sitting at tables, staring at a queue that continues to grow. Opening hours are generally the best out of any branch in the city, although they have cut down drastically since Coronavirus hit, pre-pandemic they were open until 8 pm during the week and they even were open on Sunday's. This was one of the biggest pros of Metro Bank, sadly one that may never return. 3* - It looks good, staff are nice when you can finally get served. Speed of service and lack of in-store machines offering quick and convenient banking are big cons for me.

The best branch is the one in chorlton at the four bank road. second i think is the one in withington, opposite the withington library. The staff are always good and helpfull. Sometimes though you have to wait for a while until someone comes over to help you and when the queue bulids up. But hey its credit crunch and due to redundancies etc there is a staff shortage in almost all business sector.
