Barclays Business Banking reviews (236)

Worst bank ever

The banking experience with Barclays is awful. From long wait times either physically in the bank or on telephone banking (expect to wait at least an hour, if it cuts off they don’t call you back, so you do another hour), to insisting on paper communication (talk about sustainability), this bank is antiquated, and its systems and processes are not fit for purpose.

Business account at Barclays

I am a small business owner and have transferred my account to Barclays, it was so easy . despite not having a local branch the help available online and over the telephone has been most professional, helpful, accurate and speedy. I delayed moving my account as I thought it would be so much hassle , I should have moved it earlier. Well done Barclays especially Sonya at the drop in centre at Southwick Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

The Worst Bank in the UK if not World

Barclays you cannot trust with your money. I had issues with them they completed review and certified me free from faults but still held unto my money that I need another new review to prove they can release my money to me... why not review all at once since the aim of the customer is to collect their money.

Barclays are simply not to be trusted with your money

My mum rang them to close her savings account, and have her money transferred to another bank - "Sorry, we can't transfer that much in one go, you'll have to keep ringing us up or go into a branch" (local branch closed 2 years ago). Went into another branch - "You'll have to join a queue and wait, it'll be 1.5 - 2 hours. No you can't make an appointment, we don't do that sort of thing by appointment." Went back to plan A, mum called to transfer money £15k at a time over several days. 1st call 15 mins to get through to a human, call was conveniently cut off just at the point of transferring money. 2nd call 25 mins to get through, operative had no knowledge or record of 1st call, she had to explain everything over again. Payment finally made, but she now faces several more calls exactly the same to get the rest of HER OWN money. Surely the financial regulations of this country do not allow this level of obstruction? I felt very tempted to call the police and report Barclays as scammers. Reviewed on: 15th February 2023
