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
