Great Personal Service

Theres standard banking and there's personal banking, Barclays falls under personal banking, always helpful, always made to feel special and you can tell they always strive to please the customer. Banked with them for nearly 30 years and wouldn't change now. Reviewed on: 18th December 2018

Banking review and mobile app

I have been with Barclay's for two years nearly. And so far they have been good to me. out of all my friends their lend me the most money. Plus the mobile banking app is very useful and has come in handy. to be honest I do most of my banking on the app right now. it's pretty simple to use. Allows me to access and manage my account anytime and it's easy to set up again .in case I miss place my phone..and it's secure. app locks instantly after using it . Reviewed on: 18th December 2018

Great personal banking advice

5
My personal bank manager without being prompted by me called me and advised me to move my mortgage to a new product saving me tens of thousands of pounds. Best advice I’ve had, and that was over 10 years ago. I’m still telling the story Reviewed on: 18th December 2018
