Barclaysafe (secure document storage): service closing
Posted: February 1st, 2022, 1:16 pm
Just been speaking to someone at Barclays: the Barclaysafe service is closing
https://www.barclays.co.uk/current-accounts/barclaysafe-storage-service/
Barclaysafe is (or was!) Barclays' secure paper document storage. I don't have any firm details, but it looks like Barclays are starting (a date of 4 Jan for first letters was mentioned) to write (I haven't had a letter yet) to users of the service to ask them to retrieve pouches/wallets, and the back office is a bit busy with requests (unsurprisingly) so they've not taking any more withdrawal requests at present. Tnere seems to be no date for final closing of the service, it sounds like a phased/gradual thing, letting people get their documents, and also so there's not a deluge all at once on the back office that's shipping all the pouches out.
So if anyone has any recommendations for a similar secure paper document storage service, that would be useful/helpful!
