Interesting comment about slave trading, I didn't know that, but given their business ethics, I can't say I'm surprised.
Challenges they face will be keeping enough 'good' customers to keep them in business when they seem intent on systematically ripping off the very people THEY rely on.
The opportunities lie with the same issue; most UK banks do the same to greater or lesser degrees, Barclay's will do well if they buck the trend of their competition and stop ripping their customers off. They are already best with regard to cheque clearing, if they could just stop unfair charges they would be well placed to be the best UK bank.
Keeping call centres in UK, keeping branches open, keeping Managers in those branches that can make decisions and having the attitude of 'supporting' their customers (rather than trying to bankrupt them) will also help.

Challenge one to make more money. Opportunities in the future chances to make more money. It is a bank all about making money out of money and nothing else. I have been a customer for over 50 years
By the way did you know they were established with the profits made from slave trading
