Barclays Current account reviews (4876)

Dereliction of consumer duty

1
After transferring savings from my Barclays account to their Rainy Day Saver account, Barclays blocked access to and then closed my account. As well as refusing to return my funds to me, Barclays have been uncooperative, dismissive and negligent in their communication with me. The matter remains unresolved after several months. There is a complete lack of care for the customer; they have made me feel like a criminal. Reviewed on: 7th April 2023

Not easy to speak to

3
I find the app quite good but trying to speak to someone is very difficult, I have been trying to open a bank account for my teenager for the past 12 months unsuccessfully. The video chat on the app doesn't work and it is 2 month wait for an appointment in branch. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023
