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

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

Intuitive, Familiar and Secure Banking and Saving.

5
It offers many services, many of which are intuitive in their process to ensure quick and secure payment transactions, savings and discounts with their loyalty system. Offers concise advise in everyday banking and planning ahead. Security is of paramount which the over-excessive security protocols are outweighs by the confidence of a reliable and financial backup system. Reviewed on: 14th January 2019
