Review of the Barclays, Business Banking:

Online banking

Great website, very secure, easy to use Reviewed on: 12th December 2018

Barclays banking system broken

How Barclays can expect any small business to bank with them when their system is unreliable. An unreliable system for any business is bad enough but unacceptable for a banking system dealing with money. In the past 18 months here are just some of the problems: - three times the text alerts for funds below £X have been removed from the accounts with no notice or explanation - we moved office 18 months ago, updated the address on the account, bank letters still sent to the old address a year later, checekd the onlien system, address read okay, bank call centre updated system and confirmed updated address, six months messages are arriving that letters from the back are being returned unknown at previous address and yet all the business and private addresses on the banking interface are showing our current address? - messages take forever to be responded to online - crucially when making payments online they sometimes don't show until the next day on the balance of the account so we have no idea whose payments have gone through and whose have not. The Barclays system is unacceptable as a banking system Reviewed on: 28th January 2018

Crap

There are the worst bank every there staff are under trained. There don’t help small business. There Management is terrible . There Manager’s have no contact with the real world ie the customer. I have made complaints after complaints and it achieved nothing. There no one to one with business managers who never comes out to see you even you don’t who there are Reviewed on: 7th January 2018

Business Banking

Commission charges are too high and paying around £10 every month just to have an account doesn't seem right. Reviewed on: 9th November 2017

Customer Service?

I have been running a (small) business account at Barclays for a number of years - I rarely have to go into a branch, and most transactions are done on the internet. So far so good. However I've had three instances when I've been locked out of my account for no reason, and unable to transact. When I've called customer services to sort out and get me back online they have absolutely failed. They've made promises - 48 hrs and you'll be back online - Didn't happen. On every occasion I've had to go into a branch to transact. My most recent incident has been ongoing for two weeks, and I'm still having to go into a branch to transact - useless. Now finally I've decided to bite the bullet and find another online bank Reviewed on: 27th October 2017

Terrible customer service

I'm based in Ireland and the solution barclays had when they Accidentally closed our online banking was every time i needed to use our account to get on a plane and do it in person. Customer service was absolutely useless. For two months we've been without access and have basically told tough luck, we dont have a department that is designed to fix your specific problem - even though they admitted it was their fault. Reviewed on: 25th August 2017

Best banking service

We set up a business in August 2016 and made an appointment with Barclays to arrange for our bank account. The account manager was very knowledgeable and gave us all the info we needed and set up all the accounts we needed for our business. We were very impressed and the online banking facility is fantastic and occasionally we need help and there is always a friendly member of staff available to assist Reviewed on: 9th August 2017

Barclays Business Banking

Barclays made it easy for me and set up my business banking account in 4 working days. Everything was laid out and explained perfectly including how to access my account from the app. Really happy with their friendly and professional service. Reviewed on: 10th April 2017

I need paper statements!

Barclays told me they are not doing paper statements unless I specifically ask for them. The hard copies are more important for the business! Aside form that, the app allows me to do everything else. Reviewed on: 21st March 2017

SME - Lack of service

Poor customer service due to a lack of understanding of how my business works in practice. Despite the fact that a personal relationship would be better, the mobile app, is good and easy to access. Reviewed on: 21st March 2017
