A pro-Palestine activist group has claimed responsibility for targeting 20 branches across Scotland and England.
Barclays bank customers are being encouraged to switch their accounts following a series of protests by pro-Palestine group, Palestine Action.
A spokesperson for Barclays responded: "While we support the right to protest, we ask that campaigners do so in a way which respects our customers, colleagues and property." Consumer watchdog Which? has highlighted three "eco providers" for current accounts: the Co-operative Bank, Nationwide Building Society and Triodos Bank. The Co-op Bank prides itself on its policy of "our planet, our people and our communities", refusing to provide banking services to businesses and organisations that conflict with this ethos.
Meanwhile, Nationwide is actively reducing the environmental impact of its operations and assisting customers in making their homes more energy-efficient. Nationwide has made a commitment that "every one of our branches will remain open until at least 2028".
