Review of the Barclays, Personal Loan:

Friendly and understandable

On purchasing a loan for furniture with Barclays I was provided with clear, concise information for the whole of my agreement. Contacting customer service was very easy and staff members I spoke to were friednly and efficient with my queries Reviewed on: 24th May 2016

Excellent, supportive bank

I've banked with barclays since the age of 11, so more than 20 years now. Throughout that time, I've had some problems and some really good times, and this bank has supported me and helped wherever possible, regardless of the circumstances. I strongly recommend them to all! Reviewed on: 22nd June 2016

Could have been better.

Took an M&S loan, Barclays did not make it clear that it was not only their product they were recommending. M&S saw that that I had paid off their loan before and were prepared to lend to me again, Barclays weren't, regardless of the fact my bank account is with them and also that I have a credit card with them. Reviewed on: 9th April 2015

very easy and quick

Keep the Barclays account and take the M&s loan. Barclays or anybody else don't have to lend to you - the fact that you had another company's card rather than Barclaycard may have gone against you. M&s saw that you had paid off their card and were prepared to lend to you again. Barclays may not have had that option. Reviewed on: 8th April 2015

Efficient from start to end

I hadn't thought about getting a personal loan until approached by Barclays with a great offer. The process was really straight forward and having a bit of extra money has been quite good. Online application was nice and simple Reviewed on: 24th October 2014
