B.B.B. Best bank Barclays

5
25years and i can honestly say i have never had a problem which hasn't been solved in minutes. Great customer service wether in branch or by telephone. When i hear of things friends and other family have had to deal with through their banks i actually feel very proud to tell them ive never encountered anything like they have had to endure. I can now say that the ones who have listened to my advice and started banking with Barclays, are too, extremely happy. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Counterless branch

3
We have banked with Barclays for 40 years and now very disappointed that the Rugby branch is self service. You have to pay cheques in yourself using a laptop. A couple of years ago, the atm machine inside Barclays didn't pay out but gave me a receipt as if I had the money. The staff made me phone up Barclays to sort this out, I was eventually refunded Reviewed on: 13th January 2019
