Barclays Business Banking reviews (225)

20 years

we have been in business for 20 years with barclays couldnt of done it without their help xx Reviewed on: 7th 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

Could be more proactive

I don't value anything specifically about this account, but they could be more proactive when it comes to contact re: their services Reviewed on: 21st March 2017

5-star

They do not interfere, and they do everything for me. Reviewed on: 21st March 2017

Convenient

Cloud it' is a great extra function, and I find it very user friendly. Reviewed on: 10th February 2017
