I am using the mobile application from Barclays on a daily basis, without having to go to the bank. Excellent! Reviewed on: 16th January 2019

10 years of service.. no real complaints!

I have used Barclays for my current account for 10 years now and I can't really complain about much! The app is really cool and handy... the only reason I can't give 5 stars is because it doesn't feel like they are pushing the boundaries of innovation as much as Monzo (who I also use and love).

Great in everything

All Barclays products and customer approach are really great. Barclays is taking care of its customers as it is its family. Rewards are really nice. Blue rewards for banking with Barclays so you get money for just having an account with them plus lots of other great benefits. My favourite product is Travel plus pack which is a travel insurance which also has RAC cover and airport lounge access plus discounts for airport parking and hotels. Where else you can find such a great offer for just £18 a month. Tech pack for just £12.50 a month when you can cover 4 mobile phones plus unlimited number of gadgets. All you family is covered for such a small contribution. Best Mobile Banking app where you can do pretty much anything without calling customer services for support or go to the branch. Branch staff is always nice and supportive, if they can’t help in something they will always direct you to who can. I would not swap my Barclays Bank experience for anything else! Great job guys! Thank you Reviewed on: 16th January 2019

I absolutely love the self service machines. It makes my visit quick and easy, it was dreadful when it was just cashiers. Reviewed on: 16th January 2019

Always received great service, i have never had a problem with any services and always notified if there is going to be any system down time. Mobile app is the most accessible app i have used, i bank with Nationwide and Lloyds, both fail to delivery a fluid interface and experience. Reviewed on: 16th January 2019
