Barclays care for their customers

A Barclays rep advised us to move money out of our current account as it was at risk if our debit card was stolen. A simple idea but not something we’d thought of. Also we have found blue rewards worth the monthly fee as we always make more back. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

Free banking since 1975.

Overall A Good Experience

Whilst the rates aren’t the best and branch closures are inconvenient, Barclays has decent customer service and the app is easy to use. Reviewed on: 5th February 2024

Many years with them ok

Had the account for many years, everything was fine except the interest rates for the deposits which are low. Reviewed on: 31st January 2024

Most insane and unfriendly bank

Barclays have let me down badly while I am abroad. Replaced my card without notifying me. Now stuck over 880 miles from home. Barclays error but note MY fault. Useless custer service who hide behind the phone wires.My advice, do NOT use Barclays, bank with them at your peril. Not even the CEO cares. 78 years, Heart and Cancer care patient, expectations d to walk home. Fly back to collect my car, what Wally's Reviewed on: 29th January 2024

Good bank

Provided an app and online service with digital statements Reviewed on: 27th January 2024
