Great account and app

Mobile phone app far outshines other bank/building society banking apps I have hands down. Love the customisations and I can setup change and delete STOs and DDRs and paying cheques using the app is fab! Reviewed on: 2nd January 2019

Mobile banking app

Is the easiest most advanced banking app I have used and I love how I can do as little or as much banking as and when I need to! Reviewed on: 2nd January 2019

Good Bank

Pleasant to deal with and friendly staff in branch. Just wish the opening hours were friendlier for those who work office hours. Reviewed on: 2nd January 2019

Barclays just do it right!

4
I have had a few examples this year of excellent customer service from Barclays, both in person and over the phone. They have instigated great tools for customer communication over the last year or so with their chat facilities and continue to prove their worth in regards to other banks having issues with their IT systems etc when Barclays IT not only works but is always has the most intuitive systems to use from a customers perspective!
