Barclays
One of the world’s oldest financial services companies, Barclays officially entered the banking business in 1896 when Barclay and Company was founded in London. While Barclays is the third biggest bank in the UK, the bank’s presence in the U.S. relies on Barclays Bank Delaware, which runs the company’s American credit card operation, Barclaycard. According to a Nilson report from 2009, Barclays is the 11th largest credit card issuer in the U.S.
Still headquartered in London, Barclays has offices throughout the world. The Barclays U.S. division is headquartered in Wilmington, Del.
