Nice and Simple

It's quick, intuitive, simple and meets my banking needs. My children love it too! Reviewed on: 4th January 2019

Good, but could be better

Overall I've had a good experience with Barclays - the banking app is very easy to use, the unplanned overdraft fee is fair and the staff in branch are knowledgeable. However, the opening times at my local branch (Bridport) are very prohibitive for those who work full time (9-5 Mon-Fri), with no other local alternative for deposting cash. Reviewed on: 4th January 2019

Looks great, works better.

The app looks great and is laid out well being able to order and hide accounts in whichever way you prefer. Checking statements and other information through the app works seamlessly also. Never had any issues transferring or sending money and Barclays are great at letting you know if and when there will be maintenance on the app well in advance. Love the additional features also!!
