Hugely improved app, very responsive customer service.

The smartphone app is now very slick and makes it much easier to make payments and keep an eye on my spending. I recently had some fraud on my debit card and it was dealt with really quickly - what could have been horrific became much less stressful thanks to a speedy resolution.

On line banking using the mobile app is great not just for paying people, but allowing you to access your account on the go. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2019

Efficient, simple and reliable

The Barclays app has never let me down, I have everything I need to access at the touch of my fingertips and I really appreciate that I can easily pay for things when I forget my card at home. I even got my elderly father who previously used his smartphone for the sole purpose of making phone calls to download it and he loves it as much as I do! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2019
