Switched for nothing

2
I switched to Barclays purely to get the switch bonus - they took so long to authorise/process the whole thing that I never got the bonus reward. It also meant that I had no access to the account for well over a week which had some of money in it. This is the one and only time I have used a switch service and had any issues. Direct debits weren't transferred properly and had to be reset-up. The whole thing was a waste of time. I switched back as soon as I could Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

I have been with Barclays Bank for many many years now. They have always been a great bank and the app is really easy to use. I will not be changing to any other bank in the future as I’ve never had any problems with them. Great bank and good customer service too. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
