Barclays App -Simple, secure and available anywhere

5
Barclays App provides simple straightforward access to account details at home or on the move through the mobile app. Secure access with pin entry to protect unauthorised use. From Grantham to Madeira access to up to date information gives me control of account balances. Able to move money between current and savings account when it suits me is invaluable. Paying bills on the go allows me to exploit my time to the full. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018
