Great attitude and willingness to help by all staff - everything a banker would love but don't always get! Barclays out perform every other bank Reviewed on: 1st February 2019

Barclays sparkle

Barclays are supportive on line and in branch they care about long term account holders. They allow you to grow financially and don't discriminate on how much you earn or if you live in a PC postcode. I love my cheadle high street branch and would be lost without them. I would rather move my bank account to another provider than lose my high street branch. Reviewed on: 1st February 2019

Most helpful bank

Whenever there's a problem, Barclays are there to help resolve it, if there's information about preventing fraud, Barclays shares preventives to it, all in all, if you need financial services, nobody compares to Barclays Reviewed on: 1st February 2019
