Barclays took over Woolwich in 2000, completing the acquisition in October of that year. The takeover was part of Barclays' strategy to expand its presence in the UK mortgage market. Woolwich was originally established as a building society and later became a bank, known for its mortgage offerings. The acquisition allowed Barclays to enhance its retail banking services.
