2/5
Susan comes to Barclays Bank and talks to a bank clerk. Listen to their conversation.
Clerk: Good morning. What can I do for you?
Susan: Good morning. I’d like to open a bank account.
Clerk: What kind of account do you want?
Susan: I’m not quite sure. I’ll be a college student. I simply require a safe place to keep my money and easy
access to it. Can you recommend an account for me?
Clerk: All right. Do you get a grant?
Susan: No. I will be supporting myself.
Clerk: I see. You could open an Instant Account.
Susan: What’s an Instant Account?
Clerk: Basically, it’s an interest account. It has all the usual current account facilities such as cashcard and
a deposit book, except a chequebook, and pays competitive interest on your account when it’s in credit.
There are two levels of interest for this account. If your balance is up to five hundred pounds, the interest is
five point two-five percent. If your balance is five hundred or over, it attracts an even higher rate of interest
which goes up to seven point two – five percent. You will receive a cashcard for our machines, so you can
withdraw money with the card from any machines at any Barclays branches when the bank is closed.
Susan: Oh, I see. How can I withdraw money if I have no chequebook?
Clerk: Well, you have to withdraw money either using your card or visiting your branch.
Susan: I see. How can I find out how much money I have in my account?
Clerk: You can ask your branch and tell them how often you would like to receive your statement, which
provides you with a permanent record of income and expenditure. It will show every transaction on your
account and the balance remaining at the end of each day. You also can see your cashcard to check your

balance.
Susan: That’s fine. I think I’ll open an Instant Account.
