Review of the Barclays, Bank Account:

Scam artists in suits

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

I wish it could be no stars!

About 4 months ago, I switched to a Barclays account to get a switch incentive. Boy, do I wish I had never bothered! Without warning they closed my account and dropped me right in it with my direct debits. They also have some of my money, all be it only a small amount, but the hoops I am having to jum,p through to get £29 back is unbelievable! So far three visit to the branch and I still haven't been able to get it. I can only assume that they decided they weren't going to make any money out of me, so have closed my account until anti-fraud rules, as no one can or will tell me why it was closed. I have been treated in the most disgusting fashion, like I've done something wrong. Reviewed on: 29th February 2024

Wery bad service I opened a business account 4 months ago. My account still has problems and every day I call the customer service, they just say ok, but my problem is still there. I do not recommend this bank to anyone. Reviewed on: 28th February 2024

Closed my account without reason or notice.

Closed my account without reason or notice. Seized over £2000 and spent months wasting my time and demanding proof of where the money cane from. Treated me like a criminal when i had done nothing wrong. Finally got my money back after almost 3 months Reviewed on: 24th February 2024
