Well secured

5
Very welcome attitude with good approach and satisfactory job which makes me more confident Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Easy to use and access plus free rewards just for routine banking

5
I use the phone banking app to access my account regularly ( more than weekly). There is always plenty of warning of downtime (which is always scheduled into the wee small hours so rarely affects me anyway). The Blue Rewards are the cherry on a really good day to day account as it gives me £5 a month for simply doing my normal banking e.g. having a salary paid in and having some direct debits. I would recommend the account and mobile app to anyone. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

They are a bank that can trust.

5
I love their banking mobile app. And service are very good there are staff that asisst and explain something to you outside. Not like other bank who just sitting in their chair and counters and recieving money they make you feel you are important not just because of money. Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Brilliant and stress reducing

5
I love the Barclays app. I am a busy working mum of two. It's always been a worry with money, not knowing when the shops are going to take the cash and trying to do long division in your head whilst standing in a queue. The Barclays app is so quick and as easy as loging in to see your actual balance not one that doesn't include pending. But they also show you what's pending. For someone who nearly sits down let alone in front of a home computer being able to apply for a savings account over the app was the best thing and Banking cheques over the app. The customer service is amazing. Ring through the app and there's not a 10min security check instead straight throguh and your being helped. They always give plenty of warning if the app is going to be down for maintainence Love the app. It only gets better never worse ! Reviewed on: 8th December 2018

Great overall service
