Review of the Barclays, Current account:

Cash machine stole my money but Barclays came to the rescue!

After a cash machine had rejected my transaction and gave me my card back, I assumed it was just an error and simply went to another machine. It wasn't until later that week whilst checking my balance using the online banking app (which is also very handy!) that I noticed I had still been charged for the transaction but did not receive any cash! In panic I rang Barclays (this was at 23:30) and explained my situation. The process was quick and easy, and the money was back in my account within 24 hours! Fantastic service from Barclays!

I was having problems with an ex's debts and needed to shut down my old bank account and transfer everything to Barclays. They took me on even though they knew i was in debt and did everything for me. I was never made to feel awkward or embarrassed. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025

Always Helpful

Outdated and ineffective

It took 15 months of forms, calls, branch visits and finally legal intervention to retreive funds which Barclays had held on to after coding a "dormant" account. My family and I were thwarted at every turn by poor communication, ill trained staff, teams buried within the bowels of the bank's centralised structure and just plain apathy or hostility from frontine staff at branches. A truly sick and ineffective relic of an institution. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025
