Review of the Barclays, Current Account:

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

5
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!

Barclays are closing too many branches.

Barclays are closing too many branches. I had to travel 15 miles to deposit a cheque and when I got to the main branch there was no desk service available. Just one employee telling everyone to use the automated machines on the ground floor. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

Very bad customer service makes me leave Barclays

1
Customer for over 25 years and the one time I got scammed they let me down and wouldn't help. Very, very disappointed and I'll be closing my accounts with them at the end of March. Really poor customer service, they were very chaotic, not adding things to the complaint, loosing a signed for letter I'd sent with evidence and the last person I've dealt with was incredibly disinterested and dismissive and the one who closed the complaint. I suppose they want to get rid of old customers or something. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

Just the best bank. I have a lot of difficulties in my life and they are so on point having it all on record so anyone speaking to me is aware which makes me feel so comfortable when contacting about ever and anything. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
