Fantastic app and great new features

5
A fantastic Barclays Current Account and mobile banking app. The iOS App is easily to use and I can easily view transactions with retailer logos. In addition, I have added the Tech Pack to my account which saves me so much money on phone and other device insurance. Looking forward to see what other exciting features will arrive in 2019 - such as real time notifications! Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Innovative app

5
On my previous banking apps, I haven't been able to do many things that I can on my Barclays app, freeze my card,freeze standing orders and I can navigate through the app with ease. I especially like how I can view my calender for payments which will leave,it means budgeting is that bit easier! Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

satisfied customer

5
I use my banking app constantly for day to day banking - extremely easy to use ( bearing in mind I am 65+)and very convenient . Have also used generic phone lines- wait not too bad and always manage to sort what is needed. Banking staff at Brighouse (sub branch of Halifax) always pleasant and polite. Recently visited and was invited out of busy queue by personal banker who had just finished with previous customer and very happy with service. In some banks they would have scurried off beyond security door never to be seen again!, she sorted my accounts and also signed me up for rewards. Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Good for Seniors and All

I have been with Barclays for over 40 years. The support it gives is consistent and with updates of IT which is easy to use for a 70 year-old retiree. The gadget for online sign-in is simple and good for a slow senior like me. The hole-in-wall ATM is spotted over the world and so easily accessible. Keep it up! Reviewed on: 15th January 2019

Great that you can block your card on the app if you miss lay it. Then if you find it you can reactivate it right away. Reviewed on: 14th January 2019

Best Bank Ever

I moved to Barclays from another high street bank and wish I’d made the decision years before!!! Simple and trouble free switching service. The customer service whether in branch or over the phone is second to none. Well done Barclays!!!! Reviewed on: 14th January 2019
