“We will only be successful if customers are at the heart of our business,” says Steven Cooper, CEO for Personal Banking at Barclays, whose team oversee the accounts of 17 million people.

To emphasise the transformation, Cooper – who is at the forefront of Barclays’ efforts to innovate and improve its service – notes that at the time of the Olympic Games in London in 2012, Barclays had no mobile banking customers.
