I have had numerous bank accounts with different companies and I must say that Barclays is my number one. The Barclays app has everything you’ll need and has always solved any problems I may have had. Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

Sadly i have been targeted by scammers via phone telling me my account is hacked etc. I put the phone down and went straight to my local Barclays branch where a helpful worker went through all the possible solutions to avoid these scams and the steps i needed to do. Very pleased in general with the customer service on this occasion. I was assured that my bank account was safe and secure. Reviewed on: 10th April 2023

Will always be a barclays customer!!!
