Is it Barclays. I have heard so many stories first hand from their
victims, I imagine it would be hard to discover a worse bank. I
developed a friendship with a manager of a major Barclays branch based
in the West End of London at one stage of my career. I took him to
lunch one day - he sat in from of me with his head in his hands and
said "I've got businessman on the phone to me all day long and they're
furious, some of them are shouting down the phone at me they're saying
'you're cheating us' and there's nothing I can say back to them -
because they're right".

Now that we know the banks are vile greedy crooks, why are we allowing
this current state of affairs where most have repeatedly short changed
and cheated the public to continue?

Will we use them once this turmoil is over or do we now where possible
cut them out of the deal?

I don't know about the most evil, but I can tell you that the best bank I've
ever been with in terms of looking after their customers was Bank Of
Ireland.
I'd still be with them now, but they don't have any branches within 200
miles of where I live now.

Best - Nationwide (but not actually a bank)
