Barclays offers some unmatched financial offers without fail each month they offer 0% interest on balance and cash transfers for a 2.9% fee. If you're looking to consolidate your finances like I've done this offer is far superior to what any other banking group will offer. The staff are very supportive and friendly when you reach out to them, I've had one occurrence of fraudulent payments on my credit card and the support staff froze the expenses and recovered the funds almost immediately.

Barclaycard’s offers are frequent and good, their communication is top notch (do their utmost to remind you when payment is due) and you feel like your matter. The minimum repayment rates are a tad on the high side, but that’s the only (minor) complaint. Read more Read less

They have stopped me from buying draw tickets to win cars or motorcycles with both my cards saying the sites are blocked as gambling. They let me buy Omaze tickets to win a house though? I have phoned and asked several times for them to lift this restriction but they say they can’t? Why not? No answer. Read more Read less

    The security is excellent and customer service good. When I needed help and support they were receptive to my explanation

This is my primary credit card and has been for some time, however that says more about my laziness than product excellence. When I travel abroad I use another product, because even after 20 years plus as a customer, transactions are still charged for by Barclaycard and I refuse to pay this commission. Read more Read less

I keep a Barclaycard credit card as backup to the one I use more regularly but I have used it this year and seeral times in the past to transfer large balances from that other card to their long term excellent interest free offers and pay back the debt in a controlled way over that longer period while running day to day expenses on the other card. This has allowed me to complete the oayment for some large home improvement projects in a decent time frame without the hassle of applying for a loan and with only a transfer fee to oay rather than a lot of interest. The transfer process is super easy too. Read more Read less
