Amazing way to bank on the move!

I am a big fan of Barclays due to many reasons. The biggest being the Barclays Mobile Banking App which I use daily to check my account. It is easy to use and also it has so many features such as cancelling the card through the app and also a smart call option in which I can call through the app without having to go through security! Also Barclays staff in my local branch are always so friendly and I have not had any issues with my account Reviewed on: 30th January 2019

Excellent service and truly online experience

Barclays is one of the very few traditional banks with a frictionless user journey on the internet. From opening a new account to moving money, most banking necessities can be actioned online, without going into any branch. The mobile app is also secure and allows to perform all necessary banking actions. Reviewed on: 30th January 2019
