Review of the Barclays, Bank Account:

Scam artists in suits

1
They declined a dd of £8. Then charge me £20 for having to decline an £8 dd, due to insufficient ballance. They tell me nothing while fining me for going into "unarranged od", then 3 months later they threatened me with debt collectors for a £200 "debt". Barclays is also the innovator of the "PPI" scam. They are the biggest b word out there, stay far away. Reviewed on: 8th July 2021

Total contempt for our children

1
Barclays is investing its customers money in fossil fuels, even though renewables are now cheaper. They are gambling on the future, against the advice of the UN, the WHO and the IEA, and profiting off our children's future suffering. I've closed my account. Reviewed on: 4th April 2024

I've always had my current account with Barclays and always been very happy with it. I use the app on a daily basis, and find it easy to use with good functionality. If I've had to seek help for anything, I've always managed to get things resolved. Reviewed on: 15th March 2024

The app is missing some fundamental features for example I have a loan but the only way I can add, edit, or amend for example the direct debit details is to call them… what’s the point of having this in the app if I can manage it through the app. Reviewed on: 12th March 2024
