Barclays Business Banking reviews (223)

Dreadful experience

1
I am a Premier Customer. Recently decided (to my dissapointment) to open a new business account with Barclays. Zero communications, worst branch service ever received (unable to make a transfer of my own from my own account in branch in person after over 1.5 hours spent in branch; no reason given; still unresolved after 2 months!!!). If you want to do business, do it with anyone, but Barclays... :( Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Barclays business account is easy to use with transparent charges Reviewed on: 12th January 2019

Barclays Mobile App Not Fit For Purpose

1
Now that our local branch has closed we have no way to pay in cheques. The mobile app will only allow 4 cheques per week, no cheques over £500, and the worst part is the long and tedious process of scanning the cheque, which rarely works first time, can sometimes take three or four attempts, has a whole range of interesting new error codes and excuses, is often completely missing from the app altogether, and to top it all we are still charged £1.50 to pay them in. It is even more frustrating than trying to stay logged into their internet banking on the computer for more than 60 seconds. Reviewed on: 10th January 2019

Great And trusted bank

I find Barclays bank so easy to deal with both in the bank in person and using their online banking facilities Reviewed on: 9th January 2019

The Barclays banking app makes managing you business alot easier

5
Great business tools to help monitor your bank account and make payments on the move. The app "call" feature is great a most of the security is pre completed by you being logged into the app when you need to speak to someone. Reviewed on: 8th January 2019

Personal Service

A dedicated manager who helped us through setting up our business banking and mortgage. Excellent personal service. Reviewed on: 30th December 2018

Big, complacent & unsatisfactory

1
The focus of this rant is Barclays online banking. It's optimised for the benefit of the bank, not for that of the users. Its unreliability suggests that 'upgrades' are released without exposure of the 'enhancements' to real users (as opposed to business analysts who think they understand how users work) and without adequate testing. Worse, Barclays is demonstrably uninterested in customer feedback. They should get an award for originality in making them themselves uncontactable. Why do I stay with Barclays? Simple - better the devil you know than the one you don't. Reviewed on: 27th December 2018
