Review of the Barclays, Business Banking:

Can't get through to Mandate Change

I've spent 2hr 45 on hold over the last two working days trying to contact mandate change (i.e. change the signatories on an account). The call never gets answered. I'm not sure that this is even legal. You can't change signatories in a branch, even when you find one that is open. Not sure what I can do from here, other than close the account and move to a different bank. Reviewed on: 14th March 2022

Fabulous, innovative and efficient service provided by Barclays.

More than just a bank ........... they offer excellent webinars free of charge, give very helpful hints and tips for businesses, particularly for start up businesses. Can't praise them enough. Reviewed on: 29th November 2018

A bank that cares for my business' needs

First business need: Don't waste my time. Barclays does this very well, I never have to wait on hold for someone to answer the phone. They're properly staffed when compared to other banks. Second business need: Don't overcomplicate things. Barclays is easy to work with. The website, the app, the processes. All is very intuitive and easy to use and follow. Third business need: Don't rip me off. Barclays is competitive in their account fees and charges. It's transparent, simple and easy to understand. I love to be able to forecast my bank charges, and hit my forecast to the pence. Fourth business need: Understand my business needs This is it. Barclays knows what I want, and how to give it to me. Need to take payments on a website? They'll put you through the right team. Need to open a currency account? Do it over the phone. Need some factoring arrangements? Anything really, you can do without walking to the bank. There are always some opportunities for improvement, but having been a customer of Natwest and Lloyds, I wouldn't ever consider leaving Barclays. Reviewed on: 29th November 2018

Really bad customer service

First time using Businesses banking so nothing to compare the service with, however if you use foreign call centres to manage your customer service then expect poor customer reviews . I’ve spent hours on the phone about every aspect of business banking and this has impacted on my business. The language barrier and incorrect advice has meant that suppliers haven’t been paid, debit cards never received and card payments taken when told they had not been taken etc etc Would never recommend Barclays Reviewed on: 20th November 2018
