Woman, 91, loses account and pension after Barclays declares her dead

I rage against the digital exclusion of the old and vulnerable.

Roper’s ordeal highlights the obstacles facing vulnerable customers who do not have access to online banking. A Barclays customer for 65 years, she is unable to cope with the automated menus on the customer service phone line and, since her local branch closed, she is forced to take two buses to the next town to withdraw money and manage her account.

The only available appointment to request the account change was at a branch 23 miles away where staff did not know her. She brought the required documents, but the bank refused to proceed with the requested name change because she could not recall her little-used pin number.

Today’s moment of #transjoy. I went to change my title to “Mr” at my local #barclaysbank branch, and teller asked me if I wanted change my gender in their record as well. I told her I don’t have a #GRC. With a very professional—but very big—smile, she replied that, as far as they’re concerned, it doesn’t matter.

I laughed at the headline, and then remembered that I live in #Royston, the high street of which is now all charity shops, barbers, nail bars and tattoo parlours. #BarclaysBank closed recently, leaving Lloyds as the only bank in town. Morrisons supermarket closed several years ago, and the building remains empty and boarded up.

The population of Royston is ~15k. This is #LittleBritain, 2022-stylee.
