Barclays- better banking

The right touch. I have mobility problems: one bank said 'get someone else to do it.' Barclays said we will use voice recognition technology so you can do it yourself. Just one great example of better thinking. Reviewed on: 17th January 2019

Have used them for many years

Always treated well staff knowledgeable Reviewed on: 16th January 2019

Easy to use and always available

I have used the Barclays app since it became available but have also used other apps and the Barclays app is always easy to use and they regularly keep improving it clearly listening to their customers needs and setting trends rather than following them. Reviewed on: 16th January 2019

Easy to use, fast and it has everything the user needs.

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

Excellent experience.

With knowledgeable, helpful and understanding staff, and a large, exciting range of products and rewards, I can only rate this as the best bank account on the market. Reviewed on: 16th January 2019

Excellent banking

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

Very easy, quick, and hassle-free banking!

Barclays have always been very efficient in the running of their website, and now also their app. I've banked with Barclays for the best part of 30 years and am satisfied with their service. Reviewed on: 16th January 2019

Intuitive & east to use

Friendly App that leaves you always in control Reviewed on: 16th January 2019
